The failure at the box office of Vijay Deverakonda starrer Liger has left exhibitors upset. The film, which marked the South actor’s Bollywood debut, was backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma production. Co-starring Ananya Panday, Revathi and boxing legend Mike Tyson, it is directed by Puri Jagannadh. Despite being billed as a Pan India film, it failed to lure audiences to the theaters and create magic at the box office.

After its failure, the actor is all set to return to films with his new film titled Khushi, where he is paired opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu. But much before the film’s release in September, Liger’s distributors in Telangana staged a protest against the actor, demanding a full refund of the money they lost due to the film’s failure at the box office.

According to the latest report in Siasat.com, “A huge protest has erupted from the exhibitors and tenants of ‘Liger’ at the Film Chamber in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad. The protests were against the entire Liger team, including Vijay Deverakonda. The exhibitors reportedly demanded compensation from Puri Jagannadh, who had promised to pay them and asked for six months.
