Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT' Updated Official Theatrical Runtime Revealed

Chennai, August 27 - Thalapathy Vijay's most-awaited action thriller The Greatest of All-Time is set to be one of the longest Tamil films with over 3 hours of theatrical runtime. The movie, directed by Venkat Prabhu, is scheduled to be released on September 5 in multiple languages.

The GOAT was recently censored with the UA certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with the runtime approved under 3 hours. However, due to some reasons, the makers sent the movie for re-censorship which resulted in longer than its original runtime.



While the movie retained its UA certificate, the theatrical runtime is now 3 hours and 3 minutes (183 minutes). This move, despite the runtime being lengthy, shows the confidence of the makers in the movie as reports say the film has come out very well.

Produced by AGS Entertainment, the film stars Vijay in dual roles as a father and son, alongside Prashanth, Prabhu Deva, Mohan, Ajmal Ameer, Jayaram, Sneha, Laila, Meenakshi Chaudhary, Vaibhav, Yogi Babu, Premgi Amaren, and Yugendran in key roles.

The GOAT, which is the penultimate film of Vijay before his political entry, follows Gandhi, former leader of a special anti-terrorist squad, who reconciles with his squad members to address the problems which were stemmed from their previous actions.
