Vijay
Deverakonda,
who
was
last
seen
in
World
Famous
Lover,
hasn't
tasted
box
office
success
for
a
while
now.
And
hence,
a
lot
is
riding
on
his
next
release,
Fighter,
which
is
being
helmed
by
noted
filmmaker
Puri
Jagannadh.
The
shooting
of
the
action
entertainer
was
happening
at
a
brisk
pace
until
the
entire
country
was
put
under
lockdown
due
to
the
Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak
across
the
globe.
Before
the
movie
went
on
floors,
Vijay
not
only
worked
hard
on
his
physique,
but
he
even
jetted
off
to
Thailand
to
learn
mixed
martial
arts.
The
good-looking
actor
underwent
rigorous
training
to
prep
for
his
role
as
a
fighter
but
now,
the
Arjun
Reddy
star
is
having
a
hard
time
keeping
his
toned-body
in
shape
as
per
a
report
in
Tollywood.net.
Since
everything
is
currently
shut
in
the
country,
Vijay
can't
hit
the
gym
to
work
out
or
stay
fit.
Unlike
most
celebs
in
the
Telugu
industry,
the
30-year-old
doesn't
have
a
gym
at
his
residence
and
nor
can
he
buy
any
kind
of
work-out
equipment
at
this
point
considering
the
Corona
crisis.
Because
of
this
very
reason,
Deverakonda
is
worried
that
all
his
efforts
to
attain
a
well-toned
physique
may
go
in
vain
if
he
doesn't
manage
to
keep
his
body
in
proper
shape.
Co-starring
Bollywood
beauty
Ananya
Pandey,
Fighter
will
also
mark
Vijay's
grand
debut
in
Bollywood
as
the
film
is
being
made
in
Telugu
and
Hindi.
Karan
Johar
is
bankrolling
the
project,
which
went
on
floors
in
January
this
year.
The
makers
were
eyeing
to
wrap
up
the
film
by
July
but
now,
that
definitely
seems
impossible.
