Liger marks Vijay’s Bollywood debut. The actor was asked if he is interested in taking up more Bollywood offers and he said that he is no hurry. Vijay said, “I am in no mind space to look at work beyond Liger right now. So once Liger is done, I’ll take some time and listen to stuff and then figure out what I want.”
