After the success of ‘Arjun Reddy’ and ‘Dear Comrade’, Vijay Deverakonda was flooded with offers from Bollywood. The star is now making his pan-Indian debut with ‘Liger’ directed by Puri Jagannadh. The film will be releasing in 5 languages — Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam. Bollywood actress Ananya Panday plays the female lead.

Karan Johar, who is presenting the Hindi version, has shared the first look in his social media handle. The poster features Vijay Deverakonda as a boxer. Karan has written,

Vijay reportedly plays a kickboxer in ‘Liger’. He underwent a solid physical transformation for the film and even went to Thailand to train in martial arts. Sharing the poster, he has written,

Humbly announcing our arrival Pan India! Someone with my background shouldn’t have reached anywhere near here according to the conventions & set Norms. But with sheer madness, passion, hardwork, Here we are! Nation wide madness Guaranteed.

‘Liger’ also stars Ramya Krishnan, Ronit Roy and Vishu Reddy in important roles. The film is being co-produced by actress Charmme Kaur along with director Puri Jagannadh’s production house, Puri Connects.
