Vijay Devarakonda's Bollywood debut did not go as expected. His film Liger which was released amidst huge expectations failed to set the screens on fire. Despite Vijay Devarakonda's impactful and power-packed performance, Puri Jagannath's weak story, screenplay, and direction turned the film into a disaster.
It is known that Vijay Devarakonda, even before the release of Liger, announced his next Jana Gana Mana with Puri Jagannath. Following the shock result of Liger, fans and movie lovers are mounting pressure on Vijay Devarakonda to shelve the project immediately. However, Vijay Devarakonda started sweating it out for his role in the project remaining unfazed.
Vijay Devarakonda's video working in the gym is going viral on social media. His fitness trainer shared a video with the post 'Sleepless nights, long travels, praying hard, staying on toes…after month-long promotions and hard work back to working harder. This guy teaches you to Keep going, keep hustling, keep learning and keep improving. There’s nothing called giving up on him. Victory is in his name! VIJAY!!!" This shows that even after the Liger shock, Vijay Devarakond decided to take Jana Gana Mana forward with Puri Jagannath. The film is a patriotic entertainer and is slated for a grand release on August 3, 2023.
