After
taking
Tollywood
by
storm
with
his
successful
films,
Vijay
Deverakonda
is
all
set
to
make
his
debut
in
Bollywood
with
Puri
Jagannadh's
upcoming
multilingual
action
entertainer
Liger
in
which
he
is
paired
opposite
Ananya
Panday.
The
film
is
a
first
collaboration
between
the
Arjun
Reddy
star
and
Puri,
and
is
jointly
bankrolled
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions
and
Puri
Connects.
Recently,
there
were
rumours
doing
rounds
in
the
media
that
the
makers
of
Liger
have
been
offered
a
whopping
Rs
200
crore
for
a
direct
to
digital
release
and
a
satellite
right.
However,
the
film's
leading
man
Vijay
rubbished
these
speculations
in
a
cheeky
way.
He
took
to
his
Twitter
page
and
shared
a
collage
featuring
Liger
posters
that
had
the
text
"Liger
received
a
huge
OTT
offer
of
Rs
200
cr
for
its
direct
digital
release
and
the
satellite
rights
in
all
languages." He
captioned
the
picture
as,
"Too
little.
I'll
do
more
in
the
theaters."
Earlier,
Vijay
Deverakonda
had
opened
up
on
starring
in
a
Pan
Indian
film
for
the
first
time
and
said,
"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."
Vijay
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
a
mixed
martial
artist
in
this
high
octane
action
entertainer.
Liger
also
marks
Ananya's
debut
in
Telugu
cinema.
The
film
will
be
releasing
in
multiple
languages
including
Hindi,
Telugu,
Tamil,
Kannada
and
Malayalam.
Besides
Vijay
Deverakonda
and
Ananya
Panday,
Liger
also
stars
Ramya
Krishnan,
Ronit
Roy,
Vishu
Reddy
and
Makrand
Deshpande
in
key
roles.
Initially,
it
was
announced
that
Liger
will
be
arriving
on
cinema
halls
on
September
9,
2021.
However
now,
it
needs
to
be
seen
whether
the
makers
will
stick
to
this
date
owing
to
the
uncertainty
around
reopening
of
theatres
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
