Liger first glimpse begins with an MMA commentator introducing the actor as Liger giving all the elevation to his character. “Introducing the boy from India… Slum Dog Of Streets Of Mumbai… The Chai Wala… Liger…”
Vijay Deverakonda utters two small yet impactful dialogues in the video. “We are Indians,” says he which shows his love for the country. He indeed makes entry wearing the Indian flag. And the other dialogue, “Vaat Lagaa Denge”, defines his aggressive attitude.
The visuals are packed with breathtaking stunt sequences. In fact, the total emphasis has been given to Vijay Deverakonda who appears in a never before stylish avatar.
