Reportedly, the distributors who shed hefty amounts to get the theatrical rights of the movie and incurred losses, after the film bombed at ticket windows, have demanded the makers to compensate them from their profits.
According to the distributors, the production banners have earned at least INR70+ crores in profit despite the commercial failure. They have claimed that ‘Liger’, which was made at a budget on INR100 crores, recovered the money from theatrical and non-theatrical rights – sold for INR90 and INR85+ crores+ respectively.
