Karan Johar’s Hindi launch of Vijay Deverakonda shows every sign of becoming the fourth blockbuster of 2022 after The Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Bhool Bhulaiya 2.
Those who have seen Liger say it is 2 hours and 40 minutes of relentless action never seen before in Indian cinema.
After seeing the extended playing time of Liger, the producers Dharma Productions did consider cutting down the length.
“But what do we cut?” a source close to Dharma asks. “Director Puri Jagannadh has structured the story in a way that every minute counts.”
The action sequences are said to be the film’s USP. But the other highlight are the mother-son sequences between Deverakonda and Ramya Krishnan.
