'Liger': Puri Jagannadh to compensate South distributors after film's failure at box office

‘Liger’, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, has failed to pull the audience to theatres. Due to its box office disaster, South distributors have lost money. Film distributor from the South Warangal Srinu revealed that he has lost 65 per cent of his investment after the film bombed at the box office. He also alleged that there was an elaborate plan to ‘sabotage’ the film’s collections. He slammed people who boycott movies even before seeing them and alleged a ‘concerted campaign’ against the movie industry on a regular basis. He said that things like these are affecting the daily wage workers the most.

According to ETimes, the film's producer Puri Jagannadh has decided to compensate the distributors who have suffered. The film producer is set to fly to Hyderabad and meet those distributors and execute the compensation soon.

Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday starrer was shot in Hindi and Telugu and was dubbed and released in various languages like Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam.

Vijay Deverakonda’s arrogance, when the film opened to bad reviews and poor audience ratings, was held responsible for people not showing up to the theatres.

Written and directed by Puri Jagannadh, the film earned just Rs 35 crore in its opening weekend.
