Actress Ananya Panday along with her upcoming movie Liger’s team is having a ball of time shooting with boxing legend Mike Tyson.
Taking to her Instagram handle, the actress shared a quirky picture of herself with Mike where the legendary boxer can be seen hilariously recreating his infamous ear bite that Tyson is known for apart from his skills in the ring.
For the unreversed, in 1997 when fighting Evander Holyfield in the ring, Mike Tyson was so annoyed by the way his opponent was sparring, he bit his ear off. The fight has come to be known as ‘the bite fight’.
Along with the fun picture, Ananya wrote, ‘We’re clearly getting along really well 🙈🥊🤪 @miketyson #LIGER 🦁🔀🐯 @thedeverakonda #PuriJagannadh @charmmekaur @karanjohar @apoorva1972 @dharmamovies @puriconnects 📸 @shubhamgosalia’
In the picture, dressed in a black full-sleeved crop-top and blue jeans, Ananya looked stunning as ever in the pictures as she makes a goofy face for the picture. Mike, on the other hand, is seen looking dashing as ever in his grey t-shirt.
Ananya along with Tollywood superstar Vijay Deverakonda, director Puri Jagannadh and the rest of the team of Liger are currently in Las Vegas shooting for the film with Mike Tyson.
Excited about shooting with the former heavy-weight champion, the team of Liger also shared pictures from sets, writing, “LIGER Team having the best time working with the Supercool LEGEND @miketyson, a man full of heart. (sic)”
Further, the Liger team even organised a special Indian lunch for Tyson and his wife Kiki as he’s a fan of Indian food. Tyson binged on garlic naan, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, fish tikka masala and goat biryani for lunch. He specially asked for aloo gobi, palak paneer, samosa and kebabs.
Pan India film Liger will release in 2022.
