The USP of the film is that it’s India’s first Mix Martial Arts action film and director Puri Jagannadh has portrayed it quite efficiently, introducing a new world to the Indian cinema. The intense action glimpses shown in previous video properties from the film, just became all the more grand in the trailer, especially with the addition of Mike Tyson.
Take a look at the Liger trailer below:
Vijay has imbibed the character of an underdog who rises from the slums of Mumbai and goes on to fight in the biggest arenas. The role seems to be tailor-made for him. The attitude that is required from him, just comes out so efficiently. The trailer of Liger is definitely a treat for Vijay’s fans. The makers haven’t given much away in the trailer but it’s evident that the mother-son relationship between Ramya Krishnan and Vijay will form a major crux of the story. As for the rest of the grand action in the film, it’s surely going to be a spectacle on the big screen.
Alongside Vijay, Ananya and Mike Tyson, Liger also features Ronit Roy and Ramya Krishnan. Directed by Puri Jagannadh and produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar, Charmme Kaur and Apoorva Mehta, Liger releases theatrically pan-India on August 25, 2022 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.
