What if Liger flops? Vijay Deverakonda says ‘If I react angrily…’

Vijay Deverakonda is gearing up for the release of Liger, which marks his Bollywood debut. The film has piqued the curiosity of fans as it features him in a lean new avatar.

Liger is a sports drama, written and directed by Puri Jagannadh.

VIJAY ON LIGER’S FATE

Vijay Deverakonda, last seen in the commercially unsuccessful World Famous Lover, is set to return to our screens with Liger. The film has already become a rage in the Telugu states, where the advance booking is quite impressive. During a recent interview, Vijay answered a question about Liger’s box office fate. He said that he will not ‘react angrily to such small things’. The actor went on to thank fans for supporting him while he promoted Liger.

“Had you asked me this question a few years back, I would have replied with anger. I would have been so angry. However, with the kind of love that I have received in the last few days, it would be a disrespect to that if I react angrily to such small things around. I want to remember the love. The audience is important, we work for them, and we travel cities just to meet them and we want to win their love. (sic)” he said during an interaction with the media.
