Former American professional boxer, Mike Tyson, has completed dubbing for his part in the upcoming film ‘Liger’ starring Southern sensation Vijay Deverakonda. The 55-year-old said that he was grateful for the kindness shown by the team of ‘Liger’.

“Thank you very much for being very kind to me. I am very grateful,” said the legendary boxer in a short video shared by Dharma productions on their Twitter account. Incidentally, this is also Deverakonda’s first pan-Indian film. This is also the first time that Tyson is being featured in an Indian film.
The Golden Gloves holder had completed shooting for his portion a while ago, however, he completed the dubbing for the movie recently.


The upcoming action-sports drama is being produced by Dharma Productions and Puri Connects. The movie is being helmed by noted Telugu film-maker Puri Jagannadh. Bollywood actress Ananya Panday is playing the female lead opposite Deverakonda in the film. The film will also feature Ronit Roy, Ramya Krishna, Ali Bhasha, and Makrand Deshpande.

Deverekonda became a widely-known face after his Telugu movie ‘Arjun Reddy’ became a blockbuster. The movie was later remade as ‘Kabir Singh’ with Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani.

In the highly-anticipated ‘Liger’, Deverakonda is reportedly playing a kickboxer with a stutter. The 32-year-old actor underwent martial arts training in Thailand for the role. Vishnu Sarma is handling the cinematography, while Kecha from Thailand is the stunt director.

The makers of the film are planning to release it in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Kannada languages. ‘Liger’ will reportedly hit the screens on August 25, 2022.
