The
makers
of
Vijay
Deverakonda's
Liger
recently
sprung
a
surprise
as
they
announced
the
addition
of
Boxing
legend
Mike
Tyson
in
the
film.
Though
the
big
announcement
enthralled
fans,
many
were
evidently
disappointed
as
the
team
didn't
give
out
any
hint
regarding
the
film's
release,
even
when
the
Maharashtra
government
announced
the
re-opening
of
cinema
halls.
On
the
other
hand,
several
Telugu
films
like
Sarkaru
Vaari
Paata,
Pushpa,
Radhe
Shyam,
Bheemla
Nayak
and
RRR
were
seen
locking
festival
dates,
which
again
left
many
worried.
Well,
talking
about
the
same
during
his
interaction
with
Bollywood
Life,
the
leading
man
revealed
that
the
team
is
currently
waiting
for
their
visas
as
they
have
a
2-week
US
schedule,
and
as
soon
as
they
get
the
permission,
the
release
date
of
Liger
will
be
announced.
Vijay
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Karenge...thoda
time
lekar
karenge
release
date
announcement
(we'll
announce
it
soon,
we'll
take
a
little
more
time,
but
will
soon
announce
the
release
date).
Basically,
we're
just
waiting
to
get
our
US
visas
because
we
have
a
like
2-week
schedule
there,
where
we
need
to
shoot
with
Mike
Tyson.
Toh,
ek
baar
woh
visas
mil
gaya
(once
we
get
the
permission
for
the
visas)
then
we
can
figure
out
the
release
date
and
when
we'll
be
done.
Woh..sirf
who
last
chunk
baaki
hai
(only
the
last
chunk
remain
to
shoot)
So
I
just
want
to
be
done
with
that
and
we
will
announce
the
release
date.
It'll
be
next
year."
Written
and
helmed
by
Puri
Jagannadh,
the
film
simultaneously
shot
in
Hindi
and
Telugu
will
also
release
along
with
its
dubbed
versions
in
Tamil,
Kannada
and
Malayalam.
The
sports
action
film
featuring
Ananya
Panday
as
the
leading
lady,
was
previously
slated
to
release
on
September
9,
which
was
deferred
due
to
shoot
delays
owing
to
the
pandemic.
Liger
is
bankrolled
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions
and
Jagannadh's
Puri
Connects.
