Lashing out at Vijay Deverakonda, Manoj Desai had said, "Why are you showing smartness by saying ¡®Boycott our movie¡¯? People won¡¯t even watch on OTT. Such behaviour of yours has put us in trouble and impacting our advance bookings. Mr Vijay, you are anaconda not ¡®Konda Konda¡¯. You are talking like an anaconda. ¡®Vinaash kaale vipareet buddhi¡¯, when the time of destruction inches closer, the mind stops working, and you are doing that. anyways, it¡¯s your wish."
Vijay had said that Liger will mint more than Rs 200 crore in theatres alone.

Vijay Deverakonda in an interview with ANI had said, "We've put our heart into making this film. And I believe that I am correct. I feel that there is no room for fear, when I had nothing, I didn't fear, and now after having achieved something, I don't think there needs to be any fear even now. Maa ka aashirwaad hai, Logon ka pyaar hai, Bhagwaan ka haath hai, andar aag hai, Kaun rokenge dekh lenge (We have mother's blessings, people's love, God's support, a fire inside us, we will see who will stop us)!"
