Vijay Deverakonda starrer Liger is one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie is being shot in Telugu and Hindi, and it will mark Vijay’s Bollywood debut.
Recently, there were reports that Liger might get a direct-to-digital release and an OTT platform has offered a whopping amount of Rs. 200 crore (Rs 2000000000 / £ 19396390) to the makers.
Reacting to the reports, Vijay tweeted, “Too little. I’ll do more in the theaters.”
Well, Liger is a pan-India film, and apart from Telugu and Hindi, it will be released in other regional languages like Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam. It’s a romantic-sports film, and stars Ananya Panday as the female lead.
A few months ago, the makers had unveiled a few posters and had announced the release date of the film. While announcing the release date, Vijay had tweeted, “The Date is set. India – we are coming! September 9, 2021. #LIGER #SaalaCrossbreed #PuriJagannadh @ananyapandayy @karanjohar @charmmeofficial @apoorvamehta18 @DharmaMovies @PuriConnects.”
Directed by Puri Jagannadh, Liger is produced by Karan Johar, Charmme Kaur, Apoorva Mehta, Hiroo Yash Johar and Puri Jagannadh.
Well, due to the pandemic, currently theatres are shut in India. However, as the Covid-19 cases are decreasing it is expected that soon the theatres will reopen. So, let’s wait and watch whether Liger will release as per the schedule or it will get postponed.
