Vijay Deverakonda to return Rs 6 crore from his salary to producers after Liger flops: Reports

Reports are doing the rounds that Vijay Deverakonda is likely to return Rs 6 crore from his salary to Liger producers. The producers and distributors incurred huge losses.

Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday's Liger is one of the biggest disasters of 2022. The film ended up as a flop venture. Now, reports are doing the rounds that Vijay Deverakonda has decided to return Rs 6 crore from his fee to his producers after the film failed at the box office. Director-producer Puri Jagannadh will soon meet the distributors, who incurred severe losses because of the film.

Written and directed by Puri Jagannadh, Liger hit the theatres on August 25 in multiple languages. However, the film was unanimously panned by critics and audience alike.

Now, reports are going viral that Vijay Deverakonda has decided to forego Rs 6 crore from his remuneration after the poor box office performance of Liger. This amount will help the producers, Puri Jagannadh and Charmme Kaur, in compensating the distributors for the losses incurred.

Last week, distributor Warangal Srinu said that Puri Jagannadh promised to return to Hyderabad and hold a meeting with all the distributors to discuss the losses.

Liger is a sports drama written and directed by Puri Jagannadh. Vijay Deverakonda played the role of an MMA artist with stammering issues, while Ananya Panday will play his romantic interest. Liger was made on a budget of Rs 90 crore by Puri Jagannadh, Karan Johar and Charmme Kaur. Ronit Roy, Ramya Krishnan, Makarand Deshpande and Vish Reddy were seen in supporting roles.
