Director Puri Jagannadh, whose upcoming film 'Liger' stars actors Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, said he was "asked" by his "wife" to watch Vijay's film 'Arjun Reddy' which was criticised for toxic masculinity and being misogynistic. "I stopped after watching the movie for 45 minutes," added Jagannadh. "The reason is that...I felt he acted so honestly," he stated.
