Actors Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday starrer Liger which was released on August 25 didn’t garner a good response from the fans. Considering that Vijay has a huge fan following, even his fans couldn’t save the film from sinking. As Liger failed at the box office, it is reported that Vijay decided to repay a whopping amount to the producers of the film as compensation.

According to a report on India TV, Vijay Deverakonda agreed to return Rs 6 crores from his acting fees to the producers to compensate them for their loss. However, since the actor hasn’t stated anything, the claims are not officially confirmed. Liger movie is made on a budget of Rs 100 crore and the Hindi version of the film minted Rs 18.7 crore nett at the domestic box office.

Bollywood Bubble gave 2.5 stars to Liger. A part of the review read, “Vijay Deverakonda looks absolutely dashing with his long locks and chiselled body. He shines in all the fighting scenes as this character was tailor-made for him. Vijay, Ramya Krishnan, Ronit Roy and the ring fights are the only good thing that I enjoyed in the film, rest ne dimaag ki waat laga di. Lazy writing, weak story and poor execution don’t make Liger a delightful watch. The film starts on a high note but the climax falls flat on its face.”

Liger starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday is a pan-India film which is helmed by Puri Jagannadh. The movie is bankrolled by Dharma Productions and is scheduled to release on August 25.
