and

teaming
up
for
the
first
time
for
Puri
Jagannadh's
pan

titled
Liger.
The
film
marks
Vijay's
foray
in
Hindi
cinema.
A
few
weeks
ago,
when
the
makers
dropped
the
Arjun
Reddy's
star's
first
look
from
the
film,
netizens
couldn't
stop
gushing
over
him.
Now,
the
release
date
of
this
much-anticipated
film
has
been
announced
and
we
have
already
marked
the

our
calendar.
Vijay
took
to
his
Twitter
page
and
revealed
that
Liger
is
set
for
a
grand
theatrical
release
on

9,
2021.
Along
with
a
new
poster
featuring
him
in
a
'kickass'
avatar,
the
actor
tweeted,
"The
Date

His
co-star
Ananya
Panday
posted

"Packing

Speaking
about
starring
in
a
pan
Indian
film,
Vijay
Deverakonda
had
earlier
stated,
"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!
For
everyone
like
me,
it
is
ok
for
all
of
us
to
dream
big,
Believe
and
make
it
happen."
Liger
has
Vijay
essaying
the
role
of
a
mixed
martial
artist.
Besides
him
and
Ananya,
the
multilingual
film
