Tollywood heartthrob Vijay Deverakonda is the latest to join the Pan India bandwagon. His upcoming movie LIGER is his first Pan India movie and the actor is all excited about it. The movie’s trailer was released yesterday and got a thumping response.
Speaking at the trailer release event, Vijay Deverakonda revealed some shocking facts. He said that his mother was very scared when she got to know that he will fight with the legendary boxer Mike Tyson in the movie.
He said, Yes, my mother was quite worried that Mike Tyson might break my bones and what not! She prayed a lot and put ‘vibhuti’ on my forehead for my protection. You know how mothers are… But of course, we were chilling on the sets. I am here in front of all of you guys now! But yes, she was worried.”
Actress Charmy Kaur, who is one of the co-producers of the movie, added: “Vijay’s mother was genuinely worried and called us multiple times even before we left for our shooting in the US. She would call me and say, please make sure my Chinnu, that’s what Vijay’s mother calls him at home, is fine. ‘My Chinnu shouldn’t be injured’. Finally when we started showing videos that they are chilling, she got relaxed.”
The movie’s story revolves around an MMA fighter named ‘Liger’ and how from being a street tough, he struggled through in life before representing India at the international level. The movie is slated for release on August 25th.
