Ananya Panday has been one of the leading ladies in the rising generation of Bollywood. Daughter of veteran actor Chunky Panday, she has been steadily making a name for herself. Having made her debut in Student of the Year 2, she has since starred in movies like Pati Patni Aur Woh, Gehraiyaan, Kho Gaye Hum Kahan, and more. Another huge movie where she made a name for herself was Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda, Ramya Krishna, Ronit Roy, and even Mike Tyson.
The movie turned out to be a memorable one for her father, but not for the reasons he had hoped. Liger was expected to be a big-budget entertainer but ended up being a critical and commercial failure. This was even more depressing for Chunky because her daughter was uncomfortable taking part in Liger. The experience left Ananya reconsidering her approach to film selection and, more notably, her father’s influence on her career decisions.
Chunky Panday thinks maybe he was wrong during the shooting of Liger
Chunky Panday, who played a supporting role in “Liger,” recently admitted, as per Indian Express, that Ananya was hesitant about doing the film, feeling too young for the role. Despite her concerns, he encouraged her to take it on, believing it was a mass entertainer with strong commercial prospects. However, the film’s failure deeply impacted Ananya, leading her to stop seeking her father’s advice regarding her career choices.
