Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Life, Vijay Deverakonda had opened up on working in Liger. On working with Ananya, he said, “When I am next to Ananya, I don’t feel new. I feel like a senior since she’s just 22-year-old. When I am back home in Hyderabad I feel like a king. But when I am next to Ananya, I feel like I’m old.”

Talking about Liger, it is directed by Puri Jagannadh and bankrolled by Karan Johar, Charmme Kaur, Apoorva Mehta, Hiroo Yash Johar and Puri Jagannadh under Dharma Productions in collaboration with Puri Connects. Liger went on floors in January 2020. The movie also stars Ramya Krishnan and Ronit Roy in pivotal roles. Hollywood stunt choreographer Andy Long is taken on board to choreograph action sequences for the film.

It is slated to release on September 9, 2021, in five languages including, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.
