There are different kinds of disasters, and director Puri Jagannath is certainly in a win-win situation when it comes to the disastrous result of his recent film Liger. Despite the film bombing hard at the box office, the director is said to have not incurred huge losses, and is isad to be in the safe, thanks to the pre-release business that the film made.
As a result, even though Liger turned out to be a disaster on the magnitude that no other film in India ever has been, the director is said to have walked away with more gains than losses, enough to compensate all the buyers and distributors that ran into deep losses because of the film.
On the other hand, due to the disastrous result of Liger, the second collaboration between Vijay Deverakonda and Puri Jagannath, Jana Gana Mana, has been put on hold temporarily, and there’s no clarity over when and if the film would be back on track.
