Do theatre owners have the right to demand compensation from Puri Jagannadh for Liger losses?

0

Liger was one of the most anticipated Tollywood releases of 2022. The film’s pan-India scale and the combination of Vijay Deverakonda and Puri Jagannadh for the first time and the presence of Mike Tyson added massive buzz to the project. Unfortunately, the film ended up being one of the biggest disasters in the history of Tollywood. Now the film’s debacle has forced the buyers to seek compensation from Puri Jagannadh and co.

Liger issues have not been settled yet and theatre owners of Nizam are on strike against Puri Jagannadh for compensation. Distributor Warangal Srinu has stated that Puri is not responding to the calls so he can not compensate the theatre owners. This has led the theatre owners directly demand Puri for compensation. But, is the director legally obligated to compensate the buyers?

To get the context, Puri Connects- the film’s makers quoted huge amount for Liger rights and multiple distributors expressed interest to buy the movie by believing the combo. Finally, Warangal Srinu finalised the deal for close to Rs 65Cr NRA for South India. NRA means Non-Refundable Advance. So legally the producers do not need to pay any amount for losses. In addition to this, Warangal Srinu paid Rs 55Cr by stating that the market has decreased with Corona. After the release, the movie ended up as a massive failure. 

If we go by legal means, Puri Jagannadh is not obliged to pay any amount. As a matter of fact, Puri can ask Warangal Srinu for the originally committed amount. Even theatre owners don’t have any right to ask the director for money as there is no direct dealing between them. Warangal Srinu is responsible for them which is why it is surprising to see the current strike against Puri. It is possible that they have gone by Warangal Srinu’s words that he does not have money to compensate so they are hoping Puri to cover their losses. But theatre owners need to understand they do not have any right to demand money from Puri Jagannadh. They can only request for compensation and being the film’s producer, it’s upto him to compensate or not.

It is very well known to everyone that Akhil Akkineni’s latest film, Agent is a very big disaster at the box office. It is a common thing that whenever a movie becomes a disaster, always the industry and audience talk about did the producer compensate or gave the recovery money for buyers or not. Furthermore, it is a whole separate thing to discuss whether the Producers are liable to the Distributors or not, but as far as Agent movie is concerned, the buyers cannot ask the recovery amount from the Producers.

Because no buyer has paid the amount as committed to Anil Sunkara. Before the release, the buyers had continuously decreased the price and just paid 1/2 of the advances for the committed price. So, the Producer just received around 20 Crores advances for the theatricals, and the Agent has become a complete loss for the producer more than the buyers.

Agent, having Malayalam Megastar Mammootty in an important vital role, was released on April 28th in theaters worldwide. However, the film failed to entertain the audience and Akkineni fans as well. It became a miserable failure at the box office. Even the producer of the film, Anil Sunkara, apologized to the fans for the result of the film by stating it was a big mistake on. their part, to make a film without a bound script. Hero Akhil Akkineni wrote an open letter to thank his fans and well-wishers for their support and stated he will come back stronger.

Sakshi Vaidya played the female lead in the Agent movie, while Hip Hop Tamizha composed the tunes. Bollywood actor Dino Morea appeared as the antagonist. Urvasi Rautela sizzled in a special song. Produced under the banners of AK Entertainments and Surender 2 Cinema, the film’s story was written by Vakkantham Vamsi.

0

The ongoing buyer’s strike over Liger’s financial losses has again brought Nizam distributor Warangal Srinu and Puri Jagannadh to the forefront. Both have maintained a silence on the issue till now and Warangal Srinu has finally spoken out.

Srinu clarified that he bought the entire South India rights for 54Cr on an NRA basis and he sold the individual areas separately excluding Nizam which he released on his own and the movie as we all know brought a colossal loss. Srinu added that he was in constant touch with Puri even one week after the movie’s release. Things turned sour after the call recording leak which was done by some distributors frustrated with the loss. After the call recording leaks where distributors also decided to take legal action, Puri and Charmmee stopped being in touch with the trade circle.

Warangal Srinu also denied the rumours floating that it was he who instigated this strike against Puri. He explained that he is a big Puri Jagannadh fan and he himself is waiting for compensation from the director. The distributor questioned that in such a situation, how can he return the money to the exhibitors.

“I suffered losses because of Acharya’s failure as well but for Acharya I have got a refund even though it’s pretty small. But for Liger, the team is not responding to me at all. He also pointed out that the Liger team itself claimed the budget is 100Cr and they got 140Cr business with theatrical and non-theatricals. This means they are in very good profits but still, they are hesitant to compensate the amount.
