Vijay Deverakonda’s Sports Action Film Incurs Huge Loss

Liger,
one
of
the
most
anticipated
films
of
the
year
2022
failed
to
meet
the
expectations
of
the
fans
and
film
buffs
upon
its
release.
In
striking
contrast
to
what
the
film’s
makers
have
claimed
and
expressed
about
Liger,
the
film
fell
flat
on
its
face
at
the
box
office
within
the
very
first
show.
Written
and
directed
by
Puri
Jagannadh,
the
movie
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
biggest
disasters
ever,
owing
to
the
scale
of
its
promotion
and
overconfidence
exuded
by
Vijay
Deverakonda.

The
movie,
which
has
been
called
out
for
lack
of
story,
concept,
and
characterizations
is
all
about
how
a
single
mother
and
her
son
move
from
Karimnagar
to
Mumbai,
to
become
an
MMA
champion.
The
movie
showcased
no
conflict
either
in
the
love
story,
the
final
match,
or
the
entire
narrative.
Ananya
Panday,
who
was
cast
as
the
female
lead
was
restrained
to
show
some
skin
and
dance
around
the
actor.
Meanwhile,
Vijay,
who
has
poured
his
hard
work
into
Liger
has
wasted
his
efforts
on
a
film
that
has
no
foundation
like
a
basic
story.

Legendary
Boxing
Champion
Mike
Tyson
was
brought
on
board
by
the
makers
for
a
cameo.
However,
people
who
watched
the
film
and
fans
of
Vijay
and
Mike
Tyson
have
expressed
displeasure
about
his
cameo.

Sunil
Kashyap
scored
Liger’s
soundtrack
and
Vishnu
Sarma
worked
as
the
cinematographer.
Junaid
Siddiqui
edited
the
film
which
was
co-produced
by
Karan
Johar
under
his
Dharma
Productions
banner
in
association
with
Puri
Jagannadh
and
Charmme
Kaur’s
Puri
Connects
banner.
