Vishal, SJ Suryah starrer Mark Antony written and directed by Adhik Ravichandran recently cleared censor with an U/A and the movie which is touted to be a time travel action comedy comes with a runtime of 2hrs 30mins 51secs i.e. 150.51 minutes. The censor cut details of the Mark Antony film from Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)'s official website reveals the use of strong and misogynistic language in the movie, as has become the norm with Adhik Ravinchandran movies.
