Dashing director Puri Jagannath and rowdy star Vijay Deverakonda’s Pan India movie ‘Liger’ got washed out in just one week as quickly as it hit the theaters. But it brought new difficulties and headaches to Puri. As the movie that came with huge expectations failed miserably, the distributors and exhibitors are putting pressure on Puri to pay back the lost money. In this background, it is known that a person from the distribution sector went viral in the film circles, media, and social media when the recording of Taluku’s phone conversation with Puri was released.
“What kind of blackmail are you doing?.. I don’t need to give money to anyone.. But I am giving it.. Why?.. Unfortunately, they have also lost.. I have already talked to the buyers.. We told them to give an amount.. They agreed.. I asked for time for months because I have a lot to receive.. Even when I say that I will give it, if you overreact like this.. what you give is not giving.. from ‘Pokiri’ to ‘Ismart Shankar’.. I have a lot of money that I need to get from buyers..
The buyer’s Association will collect them and send them to me?… They are not going to do it.. They are saying whether they will do dharna or not.. I will get a list of those who will do dharna.. I will pay all the others except them.. The matter took a new turn.. It is not known what happened after the audio leak but Puri suddenly filed a case against financier Shobhan and distributor Warangal Srinu at Jubilee Hills police station.
Shobhan finances big movies. Puri also mentioned his name in the audio clip. And Warangal Srinu Naijam is the distributor.. We need to know why Puri filed a complaint against both of them.. There are reports that Tollywood financiers who have come to know about this matter are not going to finance Puri’s films anymore..
