As audiences have complained about the duration of the film, about 21 minutes of 'Uttama Villain' has been trimmed and the trimmed version will be screened in theatres from tomorrow.

Kamal Haasan is very happy with the response for the film and said that he is very fortunate to have acted with his guru late K.Balachander and K.Viswanath in the film. He added that his two characters in the film are being received well and he is very satisfied with the result.

C.Kalyan, who released the Telugu version of the film, said, "The response for the film from all the sections is very good and we have trimmed the film by 21 minutes, as some have complained that the length is more. The trimmed version will be screened from tomorrow and we are sure that the range of the film will be increased further".
