Vijay Deverakonda had marked his Bollywood debut with sports drama Liger produced by Karan Johar. The Puri Jagannadh directorial failed to capture the audience and turned out to be a commercial disaster. Rumours abound that the Rowdy star will soon be teaming up with filmmaker Karan Johar once again.
Reportedly Vijay Deverakonda will be teaming up with Dharma Production head honcho Karan Johar for a romantic drama.
As per Bollywood Hungama report, “Karan and Vijay are planning on working on an ‘out-and-out love story.’Apparently, Karan doesn’t want to take any chances with the genre, especially since the failure of Liger.”

Sources added, “The two are much in touch and discussions are on for a new project that this time Karan will produce, needless to say Puri Ki Puri on his own, pun intended.”
There has been no confirmation of the same as yet from Vijay Deverakonda and Karan Johar.
On the work front, Vijay Deverakonda will next be seen in Kusi. The Telugu romantic-comedy features Samantha Ruth Prabhu as the leading lady.
