Karthi's Dev trimmed by fifteen minutes following feedback

Karthi's latest film, Dev, directed by debutant Rajath Ravishankar, which was released on February 14, has been getting negative feedback from the audience regarding its length. The film, a romantic drama, revolves around a super-rich guy, who loves adventure and falls in love with a headstrong tech entrepreneur, who hates men because her father had left her and her mom when she was a child.

Since many viewers were of the opinion that the film, at two and a half hours, felt like a drag, the makers have now trimmed fifteen minutes from its running time in an effort to make the second half tauter. 

Co-starring Rakul Preet and produced by Prince Pictures, Dev also features Kallachirippu-fame Amrutha Srinivasan, RJ Vigneshkanth, Ramya Krishnan, and Prakashraj.
