The previous few days have seen the film within the crosshairs of the Boycott Bollywood brigade.
For lead actor Vijay Devarakonda, ‘Liger’ is his launch car to Bollywood and pan-India audiences. Approaching the heels of southern stars like Prabhas, Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, NTR, and Yash, who made their presence felt in Bollywood, ‘Liger’ success means quite a bit for the self-made Tollywood star that Vijay is.
