AgenciesAfter a few controversies and a streak of promotions, Vijay Deverakonda’s pan-India film ‘Liger’ hit the theatre screens on August 25. However, the action drama directed by Puri Jagannath failed to live up to the expectations and had a below-average performance on the big screens. However, for the ‘Liger’, the OTT release has finally been announced, which would help the makers to have a broader viewership.
Reports suggest that Disney Plus Hotstar has been approved as the partner for Liger’s OTT release. The action drama will be released on the streaming platform on September 30th. The reports also say that the OTT debut was confirmed even before the film's release on the big screens.
Vijay played the lead role of an MMA fighter in the film. The film also has a cameo from the legendary boxing champion Mike Tyson. Liger also marked Vijay Deverakonda’s debut in Bollywood and Ananya Pandey’s debut in the Tollywood cinema.
Even before the grand release, 'Liger' suffered a fair share of criticisms due to the ongoing "Boycott Bollywood" trend. After its release, the film failed to pick up the expected pace due to a weak storyline. The first weekend saw the film garnering double-digit collections, though they started declining to single-digit figures after Sunday.
The film opened with a box office collection of Rs 33 crore on day one. However, the collections started declining further, putting it in the line of box office flops from Bollywood this year.
