The pan-India movie will release theatrically on August 25. The sports drama is directed by Puri Jagannath and backed by Karan Johar. The film will be released theatrically in five languages -- Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
The action-packed teaser which released in December gave glimpses of an MMA championship in the US, and introduced Deverakonda’s character --a ‘slumdog’ from the streets of Mumbai, a ‘chaiwallah’, Liger. Going by the teaser, the film chronicles Liger’s journey from Mumbai’s streets on to becoming a global sports icon. Liger also features Ananya Pandey and boxing legend Mike Tyson.
In November, the crew shot in the US along with Tyson. In a Twitter post, Dharma Productions had shared an on-set photograph of Tyson and Deverakonda.Though the makers haven't shared details about Tyson's role, the two will reportedly have a face-off in the ring.
