Liger Controversy turning Murkier

Liger ended up as one of the biggest disasters of Indian cinema last year. The distributors and exhibitors lost big money and Puri Jagannadh promised to compensate for the losses. After a long delay, the exhibitors of Nizam staged a protest at the Film Chamber from the past few days. Top distributor and producer Asian Suniel is said to have lost big on the film. He joined the protest on Monday but there is no response from Puri Jagannadh and Charmme. Warangal Srinu who distributed the film too lost big and he decided to quit distributing films.

Puri Jagannadh is a man of values and ethics. He never landed into any financial controversies in the past though he lost his own money several times. He was never a defaulter in money. But the recent controversy is turning out to be a black mark for the sensational director. It would be quite good if Puri steps out and resolves the issue at the earliest. The exhibitors are not in a mood to calm down till their dues are paid back. Hope the issue gets resolved soon.

Puri Jagannadh to take up Ustad?

After the disaster of Liger, no hero is interested to work with Puri Jagannadh. There is a strong buzz that Puri is going to take up his hit project Ismart Shankar sequel and Ram Pothineni is also okay to go ahead with that film.

Puri is juggling between heroes in recent times. JanaGanaMana with Vijay Deverakonda was called off after the first schedule. He desperately needs a blockbuster to stay back in the industry. He approached Balakrishna, who is delivering back-to-back hits. He approached Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja as well, but nothing worked out for Puri.

The recent buzz is that Ram Pothineni is okay to work with Puri for the sequel of Ismart Shankar, titled Ustad Ismart Shankar. Both the actor and director are desperately in need of a hit film. Currently, Puri is based in Mumbai and the film will be in Mumbai background. We need to wait for more details till the official announcement is out.

Puri Jagannadh yet to clear Liger Dues

Sensational director Puri Jagannadh delivered the biggest debacle with Liger. The film was released on an advance basis and the distributors paid big for the film.

Putting ‘Liger’ behind him, Puri Jagannadh ‘planning’ movie with Salman

Putting ‘Liger’ behind him, Puri Jagannadh ‘planning’ movie with Salman

After ‘Liger’ disaster, Tollywood filmmaker Puri Jagannadh is said to be planning a film with Bollywood star Salman Khan.

There is buzz in the Telugu film industry circles that the director narrated a script to Salman and the latter evinced interest in the project. However, there is no official confirmation yet.

Reports of Puri Jagannadh and Salman joining hands have been doing rounds ever since the Bollywood star acted in ‘Wanted’, a remake of Tollywood filmmaker’s ‘Pokiri’ starring Mahesh Babu.

Prabhu Deva directed ‘Wanted’, which was one of the successful movies of 2009. But there has been no collaboration between the two.

There’s, however, been a fresh round of speculation about Puri Jagannadh approaching Salman with a script. Interestingly, they both acted in megastar Chiranjeevi’s ‘Godfather’. The filmmaker played the role of journalist while Salman appeared in an extended cameo.

If Puri and Salman team up for the proposed venture, this may help the Tollywood director to overcome the rough patch he has been going through in recent times. His recent movie ‘Liger’ starring Vijay Deverakonda bombed at the box-office.

The Hindi-Telugu movie which also had American boxer Mike Tyson in an extended cameo was reportedly produced with a budget of about Rs 125 crore. The film starring Ananya Panday in the female lead had mega shoots in Las Vegas and the makers had huge expectations from it.

The film not only bombed but director Puri Jagannadh, actor-turned-producer Charmme Kaur and Vijay Deverakonda were grilled by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for the suspected violations of Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA).

They were reportedly questioned about the source of investment into ‘Liger’ which was released in August this year.

The ED officials said to have questioned the director and producer about the allegations that crores of rupees were invested into the making of the movie from foreign countries allegedly in violation of FEMA.

This is the second time that Puri Jagannadh and Charmee Kaur have appeared before the ED. Last year, the agency questioned them along with other film personalities regarding allegations of money in the drug case allegedly involving celebrities.

Earlier, the Special Investigation Team of the State Prohibition and Excise Department had also grilled them after registering a case in 2017.

More Troubles for Puri Jagannadh

Sensational director Puri Jagannadh delivered a number of super hits along with massive debacles. Though he lost or earned his own money, he was never into a financial mess or legal hurdles. For the first time, things turned uglier and there are lot of people who are being suffered because of the legal mess and the financial delays of Liger. The film was released on an advance basis and it was Chadalavada Srinivasa Rao (Film Producer), Shobhan (Financier), Warangal Srinu (Distributor) handled the Telugu business. They acquired advances from the distributors and exhibitors with the promise of full refund and paid to Puri Jagannadh.

Strict agreements are made that the payments will be made within 50 days if the amounts are not recovered upon the promise of Puri. With a huge delay in the recovery and a severe cash crunch in the market, the distributors and exhibitors mounted pressure on Puri Jagannadh to repay the amounts. Puri should have requested some more time but he was not available to address the issue. He was absent in Hyderabad and he is busy in Mumbai which made the situation worse. Puri is yet to receive the payments through the non-theatrical deals and he is ready to repay the amounts.

He should have managed to pool some of the funds as he already made profits through Liger. If he would have repaid a portion of the amount and requested more time from the distributors by meeting them in person, the things would not have turned worse or ugly. Now, the financial settlements of Liger turned out to be a discussion across the Tollywood circles. This would sure turn out to be a dent for Puri Jagannadh in the future for his films. He will have to release his films on his own in the future if they do not feature stars. Else, he should sell off the rights before release which may not happen considering the pathetic performance of Liger.

Its hight time for Puri Jagannadh to settle the issue at the earliest. Else the problems would mount up badly.
