Mike Tyson in Liger: A huge price for a short stint

  • September 1, 2022 / 08:25 PM IST

A lot was said about the involvement of world renowned boxer Mike Tyson in Liger, featuring Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role, and directed by Puri Jagannath. Mike Tyson’s role in the film was advertised so much that everyone thought he would be playing Vijay’s father in the film, owing to the tagline of ‘Saala Crossbreed’. Despite so much publicity about Mike Tyson’s involvement and so much hype surrounding his role in the film, upon Liger’s release, everything fell flat, and left audiences scratching their heads.

With the film turning out to be a disaster, it has now come to light how much Mike Tyson was paid for his cameo in the film. Sources say that he was paid a whopping Rs. 25 Crores for his very short stint in the film, which didn’t even turn out to be remarkable. In the end, the makers seem to have ended up paying too much for a very short stint that didn’t even pay off in the end.

Liger has turned out to be a colossal disappointment across the nation, with theatres running empty, and audiences showing zero interest in watching the film, and those who have watched the film, calling it a nuisance.
