Dear Dharma Productions, Why are you SHAMING The Vijay Deverakonda?
Two years have passed since august 25, when Vijay Devarakonda's Liger debuted in cinemas. With puri jagannadh directing and karan johar producing, this was one of Tollywood's largest and most ambitious projects when it was initially announced. Liger was meant to be Vijay's big pan-Indian debut, a new benchmark for the business. However, as the release date drew closer, things began to seem dire. The music, teaser, and trailer didn't create the excitement one would have thought for a production this size. There were rumors going around that Liger may not work out.
Dharma Productions shared several posters wishing '2 Years of Liger' and fans of VD are badly disappointed with that. Despite these reservations, many clung to optimism. It felt like a winning combination to work with such a strong performer as Vijay devarakonda and a director like puri Jagannadh. However, their aspirations were dashed on the first day. Not only was Liger a letdown, but it also turned out to be among the worst movies in recent memory. Despite having an enormous 125 crore budget, the film only managed to earn 50 crores at the box office.
The fallout was terrible. ananya Panday's doors in tollywood permanently closed, distributors and exhibitors targeted puri jagannadh, and Vijay devarakonda stayed silent. Today, Liger's poster was uploaded by karan Johar's dharma productions with the phrase, "Two years of the beast's unstoppable force!" adding more salt to the wounds.
One fan commented, “Please don’t remind us of this torture.” Another joked, “Knew karan johar was pissed at puri jagannadh, but not to this extent!”

Viewers were instantly reminded of the traumatic experience they had in the cinema. The comments area was overflowing with ironic remarks and jokes. Since fans were celebrating the anniversary of Vijay Devarakonda's beloved film arjun reddy, the message had more impact. Their jubilation for arjun reddy were disrupted when they saw the memory of the Liger catastrophe, which depressed them.
