Liger makers prepare special treat for Vijay Deverakonda's birthday

Hyderabad: Actor Vijay Deverakonda has been working hard for a couple of years to give beyond his best for his upcoming film Liger. The movie is directed by Puri Jagannadh, and produced by Puri Jagannadh, Charmme Kaur, Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, and Apoorva Mehta under the Puri Connects and Dharma Productions banners. Liger has Ananya Panday playing the leading lady.

This film marks Vijay's debut in Bollywood and Ananya's in Tollywood. The film has a special guest who is going to make his debut in Indian cinema and he is none other than Mike Tyson, the boxing champion.

The film's first glimpse was released on New Year and it got an overwhelming response. Deverakonda's makeover and his intense performance went viral across social media. As the actor's birthday falls on 9 May, the makers are preparing a special treat - the 'Liger Hunt Theme' – to celebrate the actor's birthday. A special lyrical theme that represents the aura and attitude of the character Liger and actor Vijay Deverakonda will be unveiled on his birthday.

Ramya Krishna will be playing Vijay Deverakonda's mother in the film which is made against the backdrop of slums in Mumbai. Vishnu Sarma is the cinematographer and Kecha from Thailand is the stunt director.
