Liger: Vijay Deverakonda Reveals He Didn’t Plan To Enter Bollywood; Calls Ananya A Fun Co-Star

South super Vijay Deverakonda is all set to share the big screen with Bollywood’s gorgeous Ananya Panday in Puri Jagannadh’s much awaited film Liger: Saala Crossbreed. One of the most talked about projects of 2020 and 2021, it is a romantic sports film which will hit theatres on 9^th September. Liger, which has been simultaneously shot in Telugu and Hindi, not only marks Ananya’s first South film but is also Vijay’s Bollywood debut. However, it wasn’t the actor’s intentional plan to enter Bollywood with Liger.

In a recent interview with TOI, Vijay explained that he isn’t someone who works on plans. He shared, “As soon as I heard the script, the story, I wanted it to be a part of it. And it made sense to make a pan-India movie because it was a story that I feel the country will enjoy watching. I felt ready for it hence we scaled it up. Everyone was on board and we set it up that way. But it was not an intentional plan to enter Bollywood. ‘Liger’ is just something that happened.”

Talking about his co-actor Ananya, Vijay stated, “Ananya is lovely! She works hard and does a really good job. She's a fun co-star.” Well, their pictures from the sets, which went viral on social media, set the internet on fire and fans can’t wait to see them together on the screen soon!
