It is known that the young actor Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday starrer sport based drama Liger was a complete washout. The film did disastrous business at the box office. While it had great buzz around it and opened well (Rs 33 crore), the negative reviews soon followed and the film was slammed for being an assault to senses. Puri Jagannadh directorial, packaged as a ‘Pan World’ film has failed to meet any expectations. After being rejected by audiences at the ticket windows, Liger made its OTT debut on Disney Plus Hotstar last month in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. Now, the OTT platform has revealed that the Hindi version of Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday starrer Liger will be premiered on October 21, 2022.
Apart from the lead actors, the movie also has Ramya Krishnan, Vishu Reddy, Mike Tyson and others in key roles. It was bankrolled by Puri Jagannadh himdelf, Charmee Kaur and Karan Johar.
There are also reports, that following the Liger disaster, Vijay Deverakonda and Puri Jagannadh’s next film Jana Gana Mana is now on hold, with the team going back to the drawing board and shaking up the film’s script.
Currently Vijay Deverakonda is working with Samantha Ruth Prabhu for an upcoming film Kushi.
