Vijay Devarakonda's Liger hit the screens on August 25, 2022. Ahead of its release, Sukumar interviewed Puri Jagannath and both shared many secrets. While this generated immense interest among movie lovers, fans of Super Star Mahesh Babu turned furious on it.
This is because in the interview Sukumar spoke about Mahesh Babu's 1-Nenokkadine which turned out to be a disaster. Sukumar's reverse screenplay confused everyone. Sukumar in the interview admitted his mistake and confessed that after that experience he decided to keep it simple.
Fans of Mahesh Babu are furious with Sukumar for taking the name of Mahesh Babu's disastrous 1-Nenokkadine and blasting him for experimenting with their star while presenting blockbusters to NTR with Naannaku Premato and Ram Charan with Rangasthalam.
