Ghost Of 'Liger' Still Haunting Puri & His 'Double Ismart'!
Since they have a hold over the majority of screens, rumours suggest that they are preferring to give more screens to 'Mr Bachchan' rather than 'Double Ismart'.
By: Tupaki Desk | 1 Aug 2024 7:02 AM GMTThere are still two weeks left for 'Double Ismart' to hit the screens and the pre-release business of the film is almost done. There is a lot riding on this film for Puri and Charmme. Their last film 'Liger' turned out to be a huge disaster and the exhibitors who saw huge losses are not willing to give enough theatres to this movie according to Film Nagar sources.
Asian Sunil and Dil Raju who are the big guns in the distribution business are yet to receive any recovery for their losses. Since they have a hold over the majority of screens, rumours suggest that they are preferring to give more screens to 'Mr Bachchan' rather than 'Double Ismart'.
The discussions are ongoing at the moment and we have seen exhibitors protesting against Puri for 'Liger' losses. Seniors like Sunil Narang resolved the issue at that time. Though Puri and Charmme sold the whole Nizam rights to Warangal Seenu, the buyers who bought from him are yet to get their money which was the reason behind the whole controversy.
They decided to wait till the next Puri film arrives in the hope of getting rights once again. But the rights of 'Double Ismart' went into the hands of Niranjan Reddy who made 'Hanu-Man'. Though these discussions are arguments may not come into public light, the bigwigs are trying to settle this issue right now. With three big films releasing on 15th August, the producers are not willing to take the risk and many suggest that they need to put the issue to rest in one way or another.
If not 'Double Ismart', the exhibitors have other major releases and there are Bollywood films lined up as well. It looks like the ghost of 'Liger' is yet to leave Puri and his 'Double Ismart'. Ram fans are worried looking at this whole scenario.
