Liger teaser out: Vijay Deverakonda is in full action mode as a ‘slumdog, chaiwallah’

Actor Vijay Deverakonda on Friday debuted a first teaser for his much-anticipated film 'Liger.'

“First look, that’s it,” the star wrote on social media, sharing the one-minute video.

Liger teaser introduces Deverakonda’s character a ‘slumdog’ from Mumbai who rises up the ranks to apparently compete in an MMA championship in Las Vegas.

The teaser shows glimpses of his ‘chaiwallah’ past, and brief looks at his rowdy antics on the streets. Vijay Deverakonda seems to be carrying his Arjun Reddy aggro in the film. Fans can also see a glimpse at Ronit Roy’s character, who appears to be his trainer.

The teaser reveals the expansive scope of the film, directed by Puri Jagannadh and co-starring Ananya Panday. Former world heavyweight champion Mike Tyson filmed some scenes in Vegas, but that wasn’t revealed in the teaser.

Co-produced by Karan Johar, Liger will be released on August 25 in Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.
