Vijay Deverakonda makes his Bollywood debut with Liger. The movie also stars Ananya Panday and Ramya Krishnan in the lead roles. Liger was directed by Puri Jagannadh. The film releases in the South circuit today (August 25), and will be available in the Hindi belt later in the day. The film reportedly had an offer of close to Rs 200 crore for a direct digital release, but the makers denied it.
‘IT’LL DO MORE THAN RS 200 CRORE’
An old tweet by Vijay is now going viral where he claimed that the movie will do more than Rs. 200 crores in theatres alone. He said, “Too little. I’ll do more in the theaters.” Meanwhile, during an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, Vijay said that he is someone who believes in being extraordinary. “When someone speaks about my performance, I am not happy with ‘good’. It is like an insult to me. For me, it has to be extraordinary!” he shared.
‘IN NO HURRY TO SIGN FILMS’
When IndiaToday.in asked Vijay if he would like to do more Bollywood films, he added, “I’m in no hurry to sign films. Right now, I’m so busy promoting the film and I want to enjoy the process of promoting, meeting people, talking to people, traveling the country, and eating food. I am in no mind space to look at work beyond Liger right now. So once Liger is done, I’ll take some time and listen to stuff and then figure out what I want.”
The initial response to the movie has been mixed on social media.
