Mumbai: Popular Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda is soon going to make his Bollywood debut featuring in a lead role opposite Ananya Panday in the upcoming movie ‘Liger’. This upcoming sports action film has been creating a lot of buzz on social media ever since it has been announced.

The teaser of the film which was supposed to release on May 9, 2021, got delayed due to the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
