Chunky Panday speaks on failure of Vijay Deverakonda-Ananya Panday starrer Liger; says, ‘have to live with it and move on’

In an interview with IndiaToday, Sr Panday addressed the failure of the film and asserted, “It is with any film. An actor gives 100 per cent to the film, you promote it, and if things go wrong, you feel devastated obviously. But you have to live with it and you move on. It is a tricky business and I think Ananya is aware of this. These are things that happen.”

The Housefull actor further elaborated and added, “What you expect to be 100 per cent might not be that and what you thought to be zero can be 100 per cent, that is what showbiz is about. Never underestimate or overestimate anything. Liger was a film, it was a multi-language film, which was promoted very well too and had great music.”

Concluding his take, the Aag Hi Aag actor said, “The outcome of the film: There are almost 400 people working on it. As actors, you only see portions of it, you don’t know what is happening. So, we never know what the end result will be. You must take it the way it comes. You have to move on.” For the unversed, Chunky played the character of Ananya’s father in the Puri Jagannadh directorial.

The action-thriller was released on August 25 this year. The ensemble star cast of the film also included Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy. Interestingly, the film also marked the debut of former American professional boxer Mike Tyson.
