C Prem Kumar's Meiyazhagan is arguably one of the finest Tamil films of 2024. Starring Karthi and Arvind Swami, the movie opened to glowing reviews upon its theatrical release on September 27, 2024. Despite the praise, the filmmakers chose to trim the runtime, removing certain scenes to make the film more concise. Interestingly, there was little criticism about its length from viewers. While Meiyazhagan still managed to impress audiences in its shorter form, it underperformed at the box office. The movie was produced by Suriya and Jyothika under their home banner. ‘Meiyazhagan’ Movie Review: Netizens Rave About Karthi and Arvind Swamy’s Bond in C Premkumar’s Film, Label It a ‘Feel-Good Drama’.

When Meiyazhagan debuted on Netflix, the version available matched the shortened theatrical cut. To make amends, the makers uploaded the deleted scenes to YouTube for fans who wanted to experience the complete story. However, a US-based freelance editor, known online as @KrisLovesMovies, has now created a fan edit of Meiyazhagan - dubbed the "Potato Cut 2.0." This unofficial version attempts to restore the original theatrical experience by seamlessly integrating the deleted scenes into the Netflix version, thereby having an HD quality to it. The original edit made bu the user was from the leaked theatrical print.

Unfortunately, this fan edit has also surfaced on torrent sites, labelled as the "uncut" version of Meiyazhagan. We hope that C Prem Kumar, Suriya and Jyothika will acknowledge this fan effort, credit @KrisLovesMovies for their dedication, and release the 'restored' version as an official Director's Cut on Netflix - similar to what Vetrimaaran did with Viduthalai: Part 1. It remains to be seen if the filmmakers will embrace this homage and give audiences a chance to experience Meiyazhagan in its full glory.
