One of the most anticipated films, Liger disappointed the audience and it was a huge failure at the box office. Following this, Vijay Deverakonda was brutally trolled. Shutting them, the actor recently said, "It’s common, it’s an everyday thing. Even before I became an actor, aunties, and uncles used to troll about results, college, job, etc. and now it’s social media trolling. Be it anything, trolling is always there."
