Director Puri Jagannadh on Liger
Vijay Deverakonda has collaborated with Pokiri fame director Puri Jagannadh for the first time in Liger. Even before the movie released, Puri announced another film with Vijay titled Jana Gana Mana. "Liger is a universal story about the rise of an underdog. This can be watched in any language. That's when we thought of making it as a pan-India movie with Vijay," Puri said in an interview with PTI.
In Liger, Vijay plays a kickboxer with a stutter, and Puri said his decade-old idea to present the leading man with a speech disorder provided the framework to the movie's plot.
