Producers Of Puri-Vijay’s Next Jana Gana Mana Back Out; Puri To Compensate Distributors For Liger’s Loss!

Puri
Jagannadh-Vijay
Deverakonda
have
cooked
up
a
disaster
together
in
the
form
of
Liger.
The
movie,
which
was
promoted
in
a
huge
manner
but
it
tanked
like
never
before
at
the
box
office,
leaving
the
makers
of
the
film
and
the
actor
in
utter
shock.

The
team,
including
Vijay,
Puri,
Charmme,
along
with
Karan
Johar,
have
invested
about
Rs
200
Crore
in
the
pan-India
venture
Liger.
Bollywood
actress
Ananya
Panday
was
cast
as
the
female
lead
opposite
Vijay
after
Karan
Johar’s
recommendation.

Liger
was
extensively
promoted
in
the
northern
India
and
the
movie
was
made
in
a
way
that
it
appeals
to
the
audience
up
north.
However,
the
attempts
have
failed
and
the
actor,
Vijay
Deverakonda
was
brutally
trolled
for
throwing
his
attitude
around.

In
light
of
Liger’s
box
office
result,
the
financial
partners
of
the
Puri
Jagannadh-Vijay
Deverakonda’s
next-
Jana
Gana
Mana,
My
Home
Group,
is
said
to
have
backed
off
as
the
film’s
producers,
reported
an
entertainment
website.
Puri
and
Charmme’s
Puri
Connects
banner
had
joined
hands
with
My
Home
Group
for
making
a
film
which
happened
to
be
Jana
Gana
Mana.
Owing
to
the
craze
of
Vijay
Deverakonda,
My
Home
Group
had
agreed
to
fund
the
project.
With
the
dud
that
the
actor
and
director
duo
delivered
in
the
form
of
Liger,
the
makers
have
re-considered
their
decision
and
deduced
to
back
out.

Almost
Rs
20
Crore
has
been
already
spent
by
the
above
mentioned
party
on
JGM
for
the
pre-production
works
and
two
schedules,
which
have
been
completed.
Puri
Jagannadh
have
to
either
convince
the
makers
or
direct
another
film
for
them
other
than
JGM.
Puri
is
currently
said
to
have
been
in
talks
at
Mumbai
and
is
expected
to
return
to
Hyderabad
in
a
couple
of
days.
As
soon
as
he
returns,
the
director-turned-producer
will
have
to
compensate
heavily
for
the
losses
that
Liger
incurred
them.

A
distributor
named
Warangal
Srinu’s
name
has
been
doing
the
rounds
in
Tollywood
circle
since
a
few
days
as
he
was
instrumental
in
coercing
Koratala
Siva
in
returning
his
investment
on
Chiranjeevi-
starrer
Acharya.
He
incurred
heavy
losses
with
Acharya
for
distributing
it
across
Nizam
and
now,
he
is
the
one
who
distributed
Liger
as
well.

Actress
Pooja
Hegde
is
the
female
lead
in
Jana
Gana
Mana,
and
the
actress
has
shot
for
a
couple
of
scenes
already.
