Vijay Deverakonda reflects on 'Liger' failure

Vijay Deverakonda is finally talking about his Bollywood debut, Liger, and how it didn't live up to the hype.
Despite all the prep, the film missed its big box office target.

TL;DR

'I have decided... let my work speak for itself'

In a recent chat, Vijay owned up to the disappointment, saying, "I have decided that for the next three films, I am going to shut my mouth and let my work speak for itself. It is a self-inflicted punishment because I embarrassed myself."
He admitted he overpromised on results and is ready to learn from the feedback.

He is still set on hitting that ₹200cr milestone someday

After Liger, things didn't get much better—Family Star got mixed reviews and fizzled at the box office. He popped up in Kalki 2898 AD for a cameo.
Now he's focused on his upcoming spy thriller Kingdom (which might be delayed), but he's still set on hitting that ₹200cr milestone someday.
