South Indian actor Vijay Deverakonda joined forces with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions for his Bollywood debut. He is set to star in the martial arts flick titled 'Liger' alongside young actress Ananya Pandey. The first look and poster of the film were released a few months ago along with the release date. The film was originally set to hit the screens on 9th of May but the current situation in the country might not let that happen.

Even the teaser release of the film has been postponed. Makers shared a statement explaining the reason of the delay. The statement reads, "During these testing times, we hope you all are staying indoors and taking care of yourself and your loved ones. We were all geared up to reveal a power packed teaser for LIGER on 9th May. However, due to the current scenario and environment that our country is facing, we have decided to postpone the same in the hope to share it with the world at a better time for us all. Having said that, we assure and guarantee that you will witness Vijay Deverakonda in a never seen before avatar and you will not be disappointed.”

They also urged fans to do their part in the battle against pandemic. The statement continued, "Sit tight and until then we request all of you to stay safe, take care of all your dear ones, help each other and get vaccinated at the earliest. Take all the precautionary measures as prescribed by the medical fraternity and be sure that-we are all in this together. See you soon at the theatres when we're healthy and strong as a country."
