Vijay Deverakonda has enjoyed a meteoric rise in the Telugu industry ever since Arjun Reddy (2017) became a rage. There was a barrage of Hindi film offers after Arjun Reddy’s success, but none caught his attention. He decided to foray into Hindi cinema with Liger, director Puri Jagannadh’s multi-lingual about an MMA fighter who rises from the streets struck a chord with the actor.
The move, he agreed, came with benefits and risks. “Hindi is the most spoken language in the country. So when you make a Hindi film, you get access to a huge audience. Trying a pan-India film is a risk I wanted to take [at this stage]," the actor had told Mid-day at the time of the film`s release.
