Liger, the sport based drama starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday which was released on 25th August, received mixed response on its release day and the movie is turning out a disaster at the box office. Trade reports suggest that Liger saw a 50 per cent drop. The movie Liger performed even worse than Megastar Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan and Pooja Hegde starrer social drama Acharya, helmed by Koratala Siva. An industry tracker tweeted: Liger is a Bigger Disaster than Acharya (32.5%) in terms of ROI for the Buyers. It is unlikely to recover even 30%. There isn’t a single Theatre where it managed to collect Rent on Monday. Business as good as closed.
Puri Jagannadh’ magnum opus Liger is a pan-India flop i. Not only has the film failed to take off in the Hindi language belts, it is also tanking on Deverakonda’s home turf.
Ramya Krishnan, Ronit Roy and Ali are playing the supporting role in Puri’ magnum opus which is bankrolled by Puri himself, Charmee Kaur and Karan Johar. Boxing legend Mike Tyson played a cameo in this Pan India film.
On the otherside, currently Vijay Deverakonda is working with South diva Samantah Ruth Prabhu in Shiva Nirvana’ magnum opus Kushi.
