Liger - Saala Crossbreed is a 2022 Indian sports action drama film written and directed by Puri Jagannadh. It is shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. The film is produced by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects. The film stars Vijay Deverakonda in a dual role as father and son, the titular MMA fighter “Liger” with stammering problems alongside Ananya Panday as his love interest, Ramya Krishna and Ronit Roy in pivotal roles, and American boxer Mike Tyson making an extended cameo appearance. The film was Deverakonda and Pandey's debut in Hindi and Telugu, respectively.
The film was announced in 2019, and the title Liger was announced in January 2021. Liger marks the debut of Deverakonda in Hindi cinema and Panday in Telugu cinema. The songs are composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Sunil Kashyap, Jaani, DJ Chetas, Lijo George and Vikram Montrose. Principal photography began in January 2020 and suffered production delays after March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming resumed in February 2021 and after shooting suspensions during the pandemic, Liger was wrapped up in February 2022.
Liger was released theatrically on 25 August 2022, being panned by critics and becoming a critical and commercial failure.[4][5][6] The film became a box office disaster, with an estimated box office gross of ₹60.80 crore (US$7.3 million) against a budget of ₹125 crore (US$15 million).
