Many stars from the South have tried to establish their influence in Bollywood. But not everyone was lucky in Hindi cinema. Last year something similar happened to a southern star. Initially, the release date of the actor’s film kept getting pushed back, but when the film hit theaters, it couldn’t even cover the costs. We are talking about Vijay Deverakonda’s film ‘Liger’.
Vijay Deverakonda’s Bollywood sports action film ‘Liger’ was released in 2022. The actor entered Bollywood with this film. It starred Ananya Pandey along with Vijay Deverakonda. The film, on the other hand, was produced by Karan Johar. But after release, the film failed at the box office.
Vijay Deverakonda has a huge fan following in Tollywood. The success of ‘Arjun Reddy’ in 2017 made him an overnight superstar, but his magic didn’t work in Hindi cinema. In 2020, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the release of the film “Liger” was postponed several times. The film was scheduled to be released in theaters in November 2020. Then the release date was set for September 9, 2021, but due to a delay in filming, the film could not be released on the scheduled date. After repeated postponements, “Liger” will be released in theaters on August 25, 2022.
Directed by Karan Johar, Rs 150 crore was spent on making ‘Liger’ but people didn’t like the story at all. This film could gross only Rs 48.58 million worldwide. According to Saknilk’s report, Vijay Deverakonda’s film ‘Liger’ turned out to be a disaster at the box office. After this, Vijay hasn’t signed another Hindi film.
