In the afternoon hours of November 30th, news came out that hero Vijay Deverakonda is attending in front of the Enforcement Directorate.
Reportedly, he is called by the ED officials to question him regarding the remuneration he took for Puri Jagannadh directional, Liger.
Meanwhile, the reports coming in from our sources are that Vijay Deverakonda is grilled for eleven hours by the ED officials.
He is likely to be called for yet another grilling session later as well, say sources.
A few weeks back the officials of the Enforcement Directorate summoned directors Puri Jagannadh and Charmee.
Reportedly, they both are questioned on illegal investments in the film Liger via Foreign Exchange.
Reports suggest that the director-producer duo are grilled for more than three hours on the investments made in Liger and gathering valuable information.
While Puri Jagannadh is facing heat from the Liger buyers, the investigation by ED officials comes as an unexpected burden for the Liger core team.
Released in August, Liger starrer Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role ended up as a disaster at the box office.
Compared to southern states, the film did well in the North belt.
A few weeks back, the buyers of Liger threatened Puri Jagannadh to sit on a hunger strike at his office at Jubilee Hills but Puri gave back to the Telugu distributors and exhibitors of Liger with strong comments.
The twist in the tale is the lead hero Vijay Deverakonda is nowhere seen as involved in the issue.
As Enforcement Directorate is now targeting Puri, Charmee, and Vijay Deverakonda, further developments regarding the entire issue had to be seen.
