The much-awaited movie of this year, Liger, starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, dropped its trailer and we're BLOWN! The pan-India movie will be released in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam. The who's who of the entire entertainment business came together to launch the Liger trailer.

While Ranveer Singh launched the Hindi trailer, Master Chiranjeevi, Prabhas and Dulquer Salman unveiled the Telugu and Malayalam trailers respectively.



The film's introduction scene begins with Ramya Krishnan's voice, taking us into Deverakonda's wild world, where she reveals the reason why his son is named Liger. 'My son is a crossbreed, born to a lion and a tiger,' the voiceover says. After Baahubali, Ramya will be seen portraying another powerful role of a mother in yet another pan-India film.

Director Puri Jagannadh has brought together an incredible ensemble of talent together. Speaking of which, we will see the legendary American boxer Mike Tyson in a pivotal role. Liger marks Tyson's first Indian movie. Vijay, on the other hand, is seen in an avatar like never before. Playing the role of a boxer against Deverakonda, the scene where both legends face each other gets intense with every passing second.

Mike Tyson's intro scene is followed by a serious dialogue exchange between him and the lead actor. When Vijay says, 'I'm a Fighter,' Tyson, in response asks, 'If you're a Fighter, what am I?" The last frame slowly pans out showing the two men in the boxing ring, exchanging deadly eye-contact.


To sum the trailer, this is a story of a struggling chai wala, his passion to represent India in MMA, his girlfriend who cheats on him, and everything in between. Liger has a stammering issue - a weakness that actually turns into his strength the moment he enters the ring. Overall, the trailer looks a solid one. With intense background score and detailed cinematography, Liger looks a definite hit.

Helmed by Puri Jagannadh, Liger is bankrolled on a grand scale by Dharma Productions and Apoorva Mehta. The movie is all set to release on 25th August in theatres near you.

Apart from Liger, Vijay Deverakonda has been topping the headlines ever since Sara Ali Khan confessed she wouldn't mind dating him on the Koffee With Karan couch. In the talk show's next episode, we'll be seeing the Liger's leading pair - Vijju (IYKYK) and Ananya Panday.
