Liger: Vijay Devarakonda Praises His Lead Actress Ananya Pandey And Says She Is A Fun Co-Star

Bollywood's glam doll Ananya Pandey is making her Tollywood debut with Vijay Devarakonda's 'Liger' movie… This PuriJagannadh directorial turned into the most awaited movie with this crazy combination. He will essay the role of a boxer in this action movie and thus all his fans are eagerly awaiting for the release. Off late, the makers of this flick have unveiled the release date and also dropped an amazing poster on social media… On this special occasion, Vijay Devarakonda spoke to media and praised his co-star Ananya Pandey.

Speaking on making a debut in Bollywood with Liger, Vijay doled out, "I'm not someone who works on plans. 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," he asserts. Vijay will be seen romancing Ananya Panday in the PuriJagannadh directorial. Speaking about his three-film-old co-star, the actor adds, "Ananya is lovely! She works hard and does a really good job. She's a fun co-star."

He further shared his thoughts on South movie vis-a-vis a Hindi film, "My director, PuriJagannadh is from Hyderabad, my cameraman Vishnu Sharma is a Malayali, and Ananya is from Bollywood, while one of my producers is from Hyderabad and one is from Bombay--so, it is a good mix. We just work the way we know. I wouldn't claim to know how the Bollywood industry works; I think I am still working through the Telugu film industry ways."

Finally, he concluded, "Everyone loves music, dance. I like hip-hop. I didn't have access to music when I was in a hostel as it was not allowed but once I came to Hyderabad, I was introduced to a lot of hip-hop music. I know the songs, I sing along and that's important".

Here is the release date poster of Liger… Have a look!
