Vijay was recently seen in a sports action film Liger alongside Ananya Panday which failed to impress the audience at the box office. Backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, the film also stars Ramya Krishnan. The film revolves around a young guy, Liger (Vijay) and his widowed mother Balamani (Ramya Krishnan), who have come from Telangana to Mumbai because she wants to see her son become a national MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) champion.

Vijay underwent mixed martial arts training in Thailand while he prepared for his character in Liger. The film was shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. Besides Telugu, Vijay has dubbed his lines in Hindi as well. The film marked American boxer Mike Tyson’s Bollywood debut as well.

During shooting intense training, he had apparently suffered a shoulder injury. But he has now finally recovered after 8 months. Meanwhile, the actor is prepping to make a grand comeback from his next Pan-India action thriller film Jana Gana Mana, which is slated to hit the theatres on August 3, 2023.

Reportedly, the Arjun Reddy actor is about to begin shooting for his next film Jana Gana Mana with director Puri Jaggannadh.

The World Famous Lover will also be seen in an upcoming romantic drama film Kushi alongside south actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
