Puri Jagannadh is the writer and director of the 2022 Indian Hindi-language sports action film Liger – Saala Crossbreed. The movie, which was co-produced by Puri Connects and Dharma Productions, was shot concurrently in Telugu and Hindi. American boxer Mike Tyson makes a lengthy cameo appearance in the movie, which stars Vijay Deverakonda as the title MMA fighter “Liger” with a stammering issue. Ananya Panday plays his love interest, and Ramya Krishna and Ronit Roy play important roles.

The movie’s 2019 announcement was followed by the January 2021 announcement of the title, Liger. Deverakonda makes his Hindi film debut in Liger, while Panday makes his Telugu film debut. Tanishk Bagchi, Sunil Kashyap, DJ Chetas, Lijo George, Vikram Montrose, and Jaani are the songwriters of the songs.

Principal photography began in January 2020 and suffered production delays after March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming resumed in February 2021 and after some other shooting suspensions in the pandemic, Liger was wrapped up in February 2022.

Liger was released theatrically on 25 August 2022 and was a critical and commercial failure.[5][6][7] The film became a box office disaster, with an estimated box office gross of ₹60.80 crore (US$7.6 million) against a budget of ₹90 crore (US$11 million) to ₹125 crore (US$16 million)

After his father, Lion Balram Agarwal’s death, in the MMA National Championship, Sashwath Agarwal aka Liger and his mother Balamani move to Mumbai from Karimnagar. Balamani is determined to turn Liger into a MMA champion and takes him to a coach named Christopher, who trains him. While Liger is on his way to perfection in the sport, he meets a rich young woman, Tanya, and falls in love with her. After learning from her brother Sanju that Liger has a stammering problem, Tanya, apparently embarrassed, leaves him. Liger wins the national championship after getting motivated by the rejection. He moves on to participate in the International Championship, sponsored by Sanju and Tanya’s father.
