Vijay Deverakonda's Extra Confidence In 'Liger' Will Extend Telugu Industry's Dominance At The Box Office?
Hyderabad, August 21 - After two months of pause, the Telugu film industry is back in the action and is on a potential long ride. Putting this in simple words - the largest South Indian film industry is flying high with the support of three back-to-back box office blockbusters, all coming in this month called August. ## The industry was in a dire need of one big hit to kick-start the process, and it got two not just one in the form of "Sita Ramam" and "Bimbisara". A week later joining these two films was actor Nikhil Siddhartha's "Karthikeya 2", which is simply going overdrive and proving to be a force to reckon with no sign of dropping anytime soon. ## While the aforementioned three films are going strong, the Telugu industry has one more, if not many, potential blockbuster in August in the form of Vijay Deverakonda and director Puri Jagannadh's much-anticipated sports action drama film, "Liger". Scheduled to release on August 25, the movie is carrying a very good buzz and it is almost certain to open big at the Telugu box office. ## "Liger" is a Pan India film, shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. It is co-produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions so the makers have taken the Hindi market very seriously, in fact, they started the promotion by visiting multiple North Indian cities. The Hindi version may not take as big an opening as the Telugu version, but it can be the most productive in the long run if received very well. ## Personally, the thing which is exciting to me is the extra confidence Vijay Deverakonda (who recently quoted a minimum of 200 crores earning of the film) is showing in the movie. Of course, the cat will be out of the hat when the movie officially will get released, but it is very important for the involved people to back their product wholeheartedly which is exactly what VD is doing without putting his head down for a second. ## The stakes involved in "Liger" are comparatively high than the previous films, but so is the confidence of the makers and buzz around the film and this should extend the dominance of Telugu cinema at the box office. It also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead along with Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy in important roles. Former American professional boxer, Mike Tyson is also playing a cameo role in the film. ## Stay tuned...
