Vijay Deverakonda's much-hyped and talked-about Bollywood debut Liger turned out to be a disaster at the box office. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, the film incurred huge losses after receiving negative reviews from critics and the audience. Months after Liger's release, Vijay attended an event where he indirectly addressed the film's failure and his supposed 'comeback' post the setback.
At the event which pulled a humongous crowd, Vijay said he is 'not going anywhere'. Referring to reports of his comeback after Liger's failure, the actor told, "Wherever I go, fans keep saying, ‘Anna, you have to give a comeback’. I wanted to tell you, I didn’t go anywhere."

According to reports, Vijay and Puri Jagannadh's film JGM or Jana Gana Mana has been shelved due to Liger's unsuccessful run at the box office. The actor ignored a question about the film at the recently held SIIMA 2022. The first schedule of JGM kickstarted in June this year with the leading lady Pooja Hegde. The makers of the actioner are yet to confirm the news of the film being shelved.
Workwise, Vijay will be seen opposite Samantha Ruth Prabhu in Kushi.
