After making a name for himself in the Telugu industry, Vijay Deverakonda is all set to make a big pan-Indian debut with Liger. Backed by Karan Johar, the film is also his Bollywood debut as it’s a bilingual film (Hindi and Telegu). Being in news for all the right reasons, the upcoming biggie is now roaring with its pre-release business.
The upcoming sports drama will introduce Vijay into a pan-India scene and is said to enjoy the craze due to Arjun Reddy’s newfound fame in the Hindi market. Even before making it to the big screen with his upcoming release, the actor is already enjoying ever rising fan following, especially among females. Overall, there’s excitement in the air!
With good pre-release buzz with exactly one month to go, Liger is in hot demand among distributors and exhibitors. The latest we hear is that the theatrical rights for the Telugu version of the film are bought for a record-breaking price.
