“Are You Blackmailing Me?”, Puri Jagan Leaked Voice Msg on Liger
"Are you trying to extort me? Even though I don't have to, I'm returning the money out of ethical obligation. puri jagan declared, "Even after I've agreed to refund a specific amount in a month if they do these types of excessive actions, I won't be wanting to return the money promised. puri jagan said in his voicemail, "I'm merely giving the money for the sake of prestige, but otherwise I'm not obligated to pay back a single dime."
He continued by describing how the buyers are really acting in this situation: "When a movie becomes a blockbuster, I have to work very hard to get the money from these so-called purchasers. There is a lot of money I owe buyers from pokiri to Ismart Shankar; will the Buyers Association recover it for me? Every exhibitor and buyer is a wealthy man in this place, and big distributors and producers who would avoid the roads if a flop hit them hard purchased my film, he claims. He begs them to halt the hysteria around the threat of blackmail.
"I'm growing tired of dealing with all these unethical customers that falsify box office revenue. Anil Thadani, the buyer for Liger in North India, often provides us with accurate box office data that is often more than what we had anticipated, which makes us want to chat with him. However, when we see our customers, we become horrified," he continued. puri jagan concluded by saying, "If at all they stage a Dharna, I'll take the list of buyers who participated and pay everyone else but them." It appears that the buyers are using a variety of blackmail tactics to get money out of puri Jagan. Although the director is not legally required to return any money, he is giving the "Liger" buyers and exhibitors some of their money in consideration of his renown and good name.
