'Liger' co-producer Charmme Kaur goes on social media hiatus

The highly-anticipated 'Liger' joined the list of Bollywood biggies such as 'Laal Singh Chaddha', 'Raksha Bandhan' and 'Dobaaraa' that failed to impress at the box-office.

According to reports, the movie made on a budget of about Rs 100 crore - has managed to earn a total of Rs 69.04 crore at the box-office in its 11-day theatre run.

The abysmal figures have left a bitter taste. The movie's co-producer Charmme Kaur announced on Sunday that she was taking a social media hiatus.


The 'Zila Ghaziabad' star's decision comes at a time when the film she produced along with Karan Johar, Puri Jagannadh, Apoorva Mehta and Hiroo Yash Johar, has fared badly at the box-office. However, she didn't blame the Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey-starrer to be the reason.

The former actress said that production house Puri Connects, the banner created by Jagannadh and Kaur, will bounce back soon.

"Chill guys! Just taking a break (from social media) @PuriConnects will bounce back. Bigger and Better... until then, Live and let Live (sic)," she tweeted.


The movie was produced by Puri Connects and Karan Johar-led Dharma Productions.

It is said that the poor performance of 'Liger' will impact both Jagannadh and Deverakonda.

If rumours are to be believed, Jagannadh-directorial 'Jana Gana Mana' has been shelved. Deverakonda was roped in for this pan-Indian project too. However, makers haven't made any official announcement about this.

'Liger' released in theatres on August 25 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam to mixed reviews. The film, made on a lavish scale, was boxing legend Mike Tyson's first Indian film.
