It is a piece of good news for all movie and boxing lovers. According to the latest news, Boxing legend Mike Tyson will soon be joining Vijay Deverakonda’s action film Liger. The film is a big-budget film made for pan-India audiences.

Reports suggest that Liger makers were looking to rope in Mike Tyson, widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters ever and the former boxing World Heavyweight Champion. And now makers wishes have come true, and this will be a big thing for Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda and the movie.

In association with Puri Jagannadh connects, Liger is jointly being produced by Dharma Productions. Karan Johar took to Twitter and wrote, “For the first time ever, the king of the ring will be seen on the big screens of Indian cinema! Welcoming @MikeTyson to the #LIGER team! #NamasteTyson.” His tweet included a video featuring Mike Tyson.

According to recent reports, the pre-climax scene of the film Liger is set to be the major highlight. It is reportedly said that the film's budget is Rs 125 crores, and Vijay will be speaking his lines in Hindi. The movie will release in five languages, Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Malayalam and Kannada.

Bollywood actress Ananya Panday will be playing his love interest of Vijay Deverakonda, who has nothing to do extraordinary in the film. The lead actress's first choice was Janhvi Kapoor, but the role had nothing to strike, so Ananya was taken under the wing.
