Vijay Deverakonda Opens Up On Boycott Liger Twitter Trends

Mumbai, August 23 - It seems everything which is associated with the largest Indian film industry Bollywood is being boycotted by social media warriors, and the latest film to face the wrath of social media is Vijay Deverakonda's Liger, which is more of a Telugu movie but has a Bollywood connection too.

The Telugu version of "Liger" is unlikely to get affected by the #BoycottLiger trend as Telugu audiences are not caring about this silly trend either. The Hindi version of the film might get affected by this trend, however, Vijay Deverakonda is not at all worried about it and said that he has seen enough of this in his career so far.



"I have struggled a lot to reach here", VD said during a promotional tour of his upcoming movie. "I fought for money and respect. I also fought to get work. Before the release of my first film, I didn't have much money and I even worked free of cost".

Recalling his early days in the industry, Vijay Deverakonda said, "Many people opposed me at the time of the release of my film Arjun Reddy. But it became successful. I faced all and now I am not scared. Now, I make movies for people. Some drama is much needed and I am ready to fight".

Meanwhile, irrespective of the boycott trend, "Liger" is carrying a very good buzz among moviegoers and is set to open big at the box office, especially in the Telugu version. Even though the Hindi version is looking to open low as of now, it can be the most productive in the long run if received well by the audience.

Directed by Puri Jagannadh and producer by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects, "Liger" also stars Ananya Pandey as the female lead along with Ramya Krishnan, and Ronit Roy in key roles with former American professional boxer Mike Tyson playing a cameo role. The film will hit theaters on August 25 in Hindi and Telugu along with the dubbed versions of Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
