An old video of Vijay has been going viral on social media. He can be heard saying, “About Liger that upset me that I didn’t see it. So, the failure of the film did not affect me so much. I was like how did you not see it that felt for me. Vijay Deverakonda when he says something it happens, he makes it happen. And I said it (Liger) would be a hit and it didn’t, so how the bloody hell did you not see us you dumb, idiot. So, that took a some time but now I have decided that for the next three films. I am somebody who speaks my mind when I think of a film as a hit I call it a blockbuster. I have decided that for the next three films, I am going to shut my mouth and let my work speak. So, it’s a self -inflicted punishment because I embarrassed myself, so I have given myself that punishment”.

Liger was released in 2022 and also starred Ananya Panday in the lead role. Directed Puri Jagannadh, the film did not impressed fans.

Vijay is shown undertaking these chores in the teaser. He seems unconcerned by these insults and then proceeds to bend a rod and beat one of the gang members.

This one is for all of you.”
