Actor and producer Vishnu Vishal's socio-political action thriller Aaryan faced audience criticism after its theatrical release, prompting the makers to re-edit the film. Viewers objected to a 10-minute climax sequence featuring antagonist Selvaraghavan delivering a monologue that justified his character's killings. The scene was seen as poorly integrated into the screenplay. Responding to feedback, the production team removed this portion and re-released the shortened version in theatres from Monday. The Telugu version, initially planned for October 31 release alongside the Tamil version, was postponed to November 7 to avoid competition with other major films. Directed by Praveen K and produced under Vishnu Vishal Studioz, the film also stars Samyuktha Bhat and Shraddha Srinath, with music by Ghibran. Despite high anticipation, the movie received mixed reviews from audiences.
Climax Cut Following Audience Feedback
After Aaryan hit theatres, audiences criticized the climax where villain Selvaraghavan delivered a lengthy monologue explaining his motives for killing four people. Viewers felt the scene provided bizarre justification for his actions and disrupted the film's flow. The makers addressed these concerns by cutting the controversial segment, reducing the runtime by 10 minutes. A statement confirmed that the revised version without Selvaraghavan's speech began screening from Monday. The same edit applies to the Telugu version. Apart from shortening the climax, no other modifications were made—the narrative, technical elements, and cast remain unchanged in this re-released edition.
