New Delhi: Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday are busy promoting their upcoming film ‘Liger’ across the country. The actors have been on a tour across India to promote their film. Vijay’s mother, Madhavi Deverakonda, performed a pooja at their home to ward off evil and tied sacred bands on the wrists of her son and Ananya.
Vijay Deverakonda posted the pictures on Twitter and wrote, "This whole month touring across India and receiving so much love already felt like God's blessing! but mummy feels we needed his protection. So pooja and scared bands for all of us. Now she will sleep in peace while we continue our tour."
The first picture shows both the actors sitting on a couch with a red coloured cloth on them. A group of priests are seen standing next to them. The second image shows them smiling as Vijay's mother, who is dressed in a green saree, blesses them for good luck.
Ananya too took to Instagram, where she shared three pictures from the pooja kept for their film 'Liger'. Ananya captioned the images: "Blessings from Vijay Deverakonda's amma and a pooja at his home in Hyderabad for 'Liger'. #thankful #grateful #blessed thank you auntyyy."
The film marks Vijay’s Bollywood debut and he plays MMA fighter boxer in the film. 'Liger' is directed by Puri Jagannadh. Shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu languages, the film is produced by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects. The film also stars Ananya, Ronit Roy and Ramya Krishna. American boxer Mike Tyson plays an extended cameo making his acting debut in Indian cinema.
In a recent conversation with IANS, Vijay spoke about his experience of working with Tyson.
Vijay says: "Mike Tyson came to just have a blast. He doesn't consider himself an actor. He was like 'Why are you casting me as an actor?' We told him that it's his persona that adds so much to the film. The weight of his stardom lends the gravitas to the film."
