Charmme Kaur Faces The Brunt Of Vijay Deverakonda Starrer Liger’s Disastrous Performance At The BO!

Vijay
Deverakonda’s
latest
pan-India
film
Liger,
has
been
hitting
the
headlines
since
the
past
couple
of
days.
The
film,
which
was
written
and
directed
by
Puri
Jagannadh,
remains
a
disaster
at
the
box
office.
The
film
was
ridiculed
for
the
sheer
amount
of
overconfidence
the
makers-
Puri
and
Charmme,
along
with
Vijay
Deverakonda
have
displayed
throughout.
Liger
was
extensively
promoted
and
the
team
toured
about
17
big
cities
in
India
for
the
same.

The
performance
of
Liger,
however,
shocked
the
lead
actors
and
the
makers.
The
film
was
not
scoring
big
in
terms
of
appreciation
or
money.
In
addition,
instead
of
speaking
about
what
did
not
work
for
the
film,
people
are
discussing
Vijay’s
attitude
issues.

Owing
to
the
humongous
negativity
around
the
film,
one
of
the
producers,
Charmme
Kaur,
who
is
associated
with
Puri
Jagannadh’s
banner
Puri
Connects,
is
now
in
the
news
for
losing
a
whopping
amount
of
money.

For
the
unversed,
Liger
was
made
on
a
heavy
budget
of
about
Rs
150
Crore.
Three
years
were
spent
on
the
film
by
the
team
and
when
they
were
offered
an
OTT
deal
worth
Rs
200
Crore,
the
team
rejected
it
outright.
Vijay
went
a
step
ahead
and
posted
on
Twitter
saying
that
the
amount
was
too
less
and
he
would
be
making
more
in
the
theatres.
Had
the
team
considered
the
offer
back
then,
they
would
at
least
have
covered
the
costs
and
run
in
profit.
With
their
bad
decision-making
skills,
the
entire
team
suffered
a
huge
loss.

Puri
and
Charmme
have
joined
forces
as
producers
for
several
films.
They
have
done
a
couple
of
films
and
out
of
them
all,
only
Ram
Pothineni’s
Ismart
Shankar
proved
successful
at
the
box
office.
The
makers
earned
good
from
the
movie
and
invested
later
in
films
that
turned
out
to
be
flops,
including
Liger.

Liger
also
starred
legendary
Boxing
champion,
Mike
Tyson
in
a
special
cameo.
Fans
of
Vijay
and
others
too
have
expressed
displeasure
over
how
Mike
Tyson
was
depicted
in
the
film
and
that
he
was
wasted
in
an
unnecessary
role.

The
film’s
female
lead
Ananya
Panday,
who
made
her
Tollywood
debut
was
criticised
for
her
acting
skills.
Many
opined
that
she
couldn’t
fit
the
role
of
a
mere
‘property’ in
the
film.

Liger
is
promoted
and
co-produced
by
Karan
Johar
under
his
Dharma
Productions
banner
in
association
with
Puri
Connects
banner.
The
movie’s
cinematography
is
rendered
by
Vishnu
Sarma
and
edited
by
Junaid
Siddique.
