Tollywood actor Vijay Deverakonda had huge hopes on Liger which is a pan-Indian film and is made on a budget of Rs 75 crores. Puri Jagannadh helmed the film and Ananya Pandey played the leading lady. Puri Jagannadh and Karan Johar jointly produced Liger and the film released on Thursday. Leaving many in deep shock, the film is heading towards one of the biggest flops in the careers of Vijay Deverakonda and Puri Jagannadh. The film's theatrical rights are valued at Rs 75 crores and the film collected a theatrical share of Rs 24.44 crores in its first weekend.

The distributors will lose more than two-third of their investments. Karthikeya 2 and Sita Ramam did good business over the weekend and dominated Liger. The film is made on a budget of Rs 75 crores and the makers made huge profits before the release. The distributors are in plans to meet Puri Jagannadh soon.
