On the other hand, the humbled Vijay Deverakonda over his Bollywood debut has written ‘Someone with my background shouldn’t have reached anywhere near here according to the conventions & set Norms. But with sheer madness, passion, hard work, Here we are! For everyone like me, it is ok for all of us to dream big, Believe and make it happen.’

Looking ready to punch wearing red boxing gloves, Vijay Deverakonda is looking fierce with a roaring and intense look in the first look poster. The crazy tagline ‘Saala Crossbreed’ is grabbing all the attention in the poster. Ananya Pandey is paired opposite Vijay to play the female lead.
‘Liger’ also stars Suniel Shetty in a key role. Sources say that he appears for about 15 minutes in the flashback.
