'Arjun Reddy' fame Vijay Deverakonda is all set to enthrall the audience with his much-hyped upcoming movie 'Liger'. It is being reported that the movie's OTT rights are being sold at a whopping price. Apparently, Disney+ Hotstar paid a whopping Rs 65 crore for the OTT rights of Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday's 'Liger'. If the reports are to be trusted, it is the biggest OTT deal in South Indian cinema.

With such a huge amount being claimed for the post-theatrical rights, the heavy buzz around the release is imaginable.

Slated to hit the theatres on August 25, the movie will feature America's former professional boxer, Mike Tyson, in an important role.
