Vijay Deverakonda's 'Liger' Fails Badly To Do Justice To The Massive Hype

Mumbai, August 30 - Vijay Deverakonda had a chance to include himself in the elite league of Telugu stars and could have extended Tollywood's dominance at the box office with his sports action drama, Liger, but things turned out otherwise. ## The Puri Jagannadh-directed film was one of the most hyped Indian films of 2022 and it could have made big even with the mixed reception, but Alas!... it opened to one of the poorest responses in 2022 from audiences and critics which dismissed its chance to score big on the opening day itself. ## "Liger" took the biggest opening for Vijay Deverakonda's film, but from the second day onwards, the movie crashed badly and couldn't grow further, even on Sunday. The movie had a rare chance to hold on to the lower level on weekdays, but even that didn't happen as it scored approx. 1.40 crores on Monday for all languages and officially becomes one of the biggest disasters of the year. ## Vijay Deverakonda promoted the film aggressively across the country and it looked like the movie will become a big blockbuster. The advance booking was also excellent but what happened next is there for everyone to see. It has so far grossed approx. 50 crores and will be wrapped up under 70 crores worldwide. ## The performance of Vijay Deverakonda got praise but it was Jagannadh's writing and direction that led the entire efforts of the team to go in vain. Critics are claiming it is the worst Puri Jagannadh film ever and the box office numbers also suggest the same. ## Karan Johar's Dharma Production produced the film in association with Puri Connects. It also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead alongside Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy in key roles. Former American boxer, Mike Tyson plays a cameo role, making his Indian film debut. ## Stay tuned...

Warner Bros. Was Reportedly Not Happy With The Development of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League'

Los Angeles, August 30 - A lot has happened within Warner Bros. Discovery over the last few weeks with new leadership coming to the scene. In its quest to be the next Marvel, the studio behind DC superheroes has made multiple changes in the lineup of future films, one of them being the cancellation of the release of HBO Max's "Batgirl". ## Apart from its own international issues, Warner Bros. is dealing with outside noises too. The studio is having trouble with its upcoming DC film "The Flash", thanks to controversies because of Ezra Miller who plays the titular role. Now, according to Variety, the studio was not happy with the development of "Zack Snyder's Justice League" too. ## "Zack Snyder's Justice League" was a result of a massive fan movement on social media which forced the studio to develop the Snyder-cut version of Justice League. However, Warner Bros. insiders believe that "Zack Snyder's Justice League" never should've happened. ## Rather than quiet the unceasing online campaigning to #ReleasetheSnyderCut, the four-hour HBO Max feature only further entrenched the vocal and extremely online "Snyderverse" fanbase in opposition to the leadership at the studio in general and at DC in particular.## As per Variety, the "Snyderverse" fanbase may be hard to win over, but DC has to do a better job of cultivating the kind of compelling franchises that will enable them to build up the kind of passionate, engaged, and excited fanbase that can drown out the haters.## In another major development, it is reported that Legendary Entertainment is planning to part ways with Warner Bros. and make movies with either Sony or Paramount Pictures in the future. The two companies reunited three years ago, but it seems the ongoing development at Warner Bros. may become another reason for their split. ## Stay tuned...

Bollywood Star Kartik Aaryan Rejects Big Offer To Do Paan Masala Endorsement

Mumbai, August 29 - Bollywood's young sensation Kartik Aaryan seems to have found himself in the red hot demand among the producers as well as ad companies. Despite reaching new heights with each passing film, the young superstar is keeping himself grounded and is not entertaining the tempting offers which are against his ethics. ## At the time when big Bollywood superstars are knowingly doing paan masala endorsements, Kartik has reportedly rejected a big fate offer from doing such commercials. According to trade reports, Kartik has said no to around Rs. 8-9 crore offer to endorse paan masala and is not putting his principles at stake. ## Former chairperson of the censor board and producer Pahlaj Nihalani also endorses Kartik Aayan's decision not to endorse harmful products. "Paan masala is killing people. Being encouraged to take gutka and paan masala by Bollywood role models is definitely damaging to the nation's health", according to Bollywood Hungama. ## Kartik has suddenly become the talk of the town post the mega success of "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2". According to industry insiders, he can easily demand a huge paycheck for playing a lead role in a film, however, he is keeping himself to the restricted fees which is helping producers to invest more in production to improve the quality of films. It is said that producers are giving examples of Kartik to other young Bollywood actors and asking them to keep their fees in check. ## After delivering the biggest hit of his career, Kartik will next be seen in "Freddy", which will reportedly be released directly on OTT. The actor's next big theatrical release is "Shehzaada" with Kriti Sanon, scheduled to release on February 10, 2023, and later in June 2023, he will headline Sajid Nadiadwala's musical romantic film "Satya Prem Ki Katha", co-starring Kiara Advani. ## Stay tuned...
