'Liger' director Puri Jagannadh recalled receiving a call from writer Vijayendra Prasad, who is SS Rajamouli's father after the film flopped. "He asked me for a favour. His son is Rajamouli...what [would] he...want from me," said Puri, adding, "Prasad said, 'I can't see directors like you fail due to small mistakes' and asked me to share my scripts with him."
