Liger made his Hindi film debut in Vijay Deverakonda. Helmed by Puri Jagannath, the film featured Ananya Panday in the lead role. While it was widely promoted with promotional tours in every state, the film was still a box office failure. Now, it has come to a streaming platform. Lager, the Hindi version, is now streaming on Disney Hotstar from October 21. The Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada versions were made available on 21 September. Vijay Deverakonda had said that the film would be a huge success but it failed miserably at the box office leaving the actor disappointed.

Recently, Puri spoke to Chiranjeevi during an Instagram Live session after the release of Godfather and said,“Success brings a lot of energy and all that energy goes away with failure. In success, we feel like a genius and in failure, we feel like a fool. Those who believed in us when the films worked, will also turn on us when films flop.” Liger released in theaters on August 26, 2022. On the work front, despite Liger's failure, Puri Jagannath and Vijay Deverakonda are working on Jana Gana Mana. The film is set for next year.
