I’m still amazed at how he knits together such larger than life storylines so effortlessly. Bringing #Liger to the entirety of India in many languages is a thing of pride for us at Dharma Productions and I wouldn’t want to do the same with anybody apart from Puri sir and his team led by Charmmee, an absolute pilar of strength for this project. Just 15 days more to go for this action packed entertainer to be all yours and to witness all the hard work, magic and fun on the big screen!????????.”
