Director Lingusamy’s film Anjaan, starring Suriya, Samantha, Vidyut Jammwal, and Manoj
Bajpayee, was released in 2014 and ran for nearly three hours. Over time, it became one
of the most trolled films in Tamil cinema. Much of the criticism came from Lingusamy’s
pre-release interviews, which created very high expectations. The film, expected to be a
big success in Suriya’s career, ended up disappointing at the box office.
However, some audiences and Suriya fans still say they enjoyed the film. Recently, on social
media, many argued that the film did not deserve so much trolling.
Now, after many years, Anjaan is getting a re-edited re-release. The new version is shorter,
trimmed to 2 hours. While re-releases usually include colour correction, sound improvements,
and technical fixes, this version goes further — scenes have been shuffled, sequences moved,
and the film’s structure changed. Viewers will notice several differences between the original
2014 version and this new re-edited edition.
