Reportedly, the film had an offer of close to Rs 200 crore for a direct digital release. However, the makers denied it.

“It’ll do more than Rs 200 crore”: Vijay Deverakonda

An old tweet has been circulating on the web where Vijay Deverakonda is seen stating that the movie will do much more than Rs 200 crore in the theatres alone. He tweeted, “Too little. I’ll do more in the theatres.” While talking to India Today in an exclusive, he stated that he is someone who believes in being extraordinary. “When someone speaks about my performance, I am not happy with ‘good’. It is like an insult to me. For me, it has to be extraordinary!” he shared.

“In no hurry to sign films”

Sharing with India Today when he was asked that would he like to do more Bollywood films, he said, “I’m in no hurry to sign films. Right now, I’m so busy promoting the film and I want to enjoy the process of promoting, meeting people, talking to people, traveling the country, and eating food. I am in no mind space to look at work beyond Liger right now. So once Liger is done, I’ll take some time and listen to stuff and then figure out what I want.”
