Vijay Deverakonda will be seen packing some punches with Ananya Panday in his Bollywood debut, Liger. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, the pan-India film is expected to release in theatres across the globe on September 9 this year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, everything has been put on hold. Amid this, rumours were rife that Liger will be skipping a theatrical release. Reports claimed that the film has been offered a Rs. 200 crore OTT deal.
Putting all rumours to rest, Vijay clarified that Liger will only release in theatres and a 'Rs. 200 crore deal' is 'too little'. Showing confidence that the film will do better in theatres, Vijay tweeted, "Too little. I’ll do more in the theaters." Fans were impressed with his confidence and said, "Remember his confidence at the time of arjun reddy And you know what arjun reddy did." Another fan added, "Will make Minimum 2000cr in theaters...(including all languages collection)"
