Aamir Khan-starrer PK will have a comparatively shorter runtime than the film it is most likely going to be compared to — Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Happy New Year.

Says an insider, “The Rajkumar Hirani film will be shorter than HNY, which was criticised for its length. An insider reveals, “The film’s runtime after editing is around 2 hours 28 minutes.”

The source further adds, “The editing of the film is complete, but the film has not yet been sent for certification. It will be sent for censor certification in two days. The makers are expecting a ‘U’ certificate.”

If this turns out to be true, this would be one of Aamir’s shortest films in the recent past. Barring Dhobi Ghat, Aamir’s Dhoom:3 had a runtime of 2 hrs 52 mins and 3 Idiots was 2 hrs 50 mins long. It was only Talaash, a relatively short film, that had a runtime of 2 hrs 19 minutes.
