Ahead Of The Big Announcement, Here Are 5 Things To Know About Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi Debut - EXCLUSIVE
Dharma Productions is all set to make a big announcement tomorrow, and it is being speculated to be about Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda’s film, Before that, here are a few things you need to know about Vijay Deverakonda's Hindi debut!
This morning, Karan Johar and Dharma Productions made a post on social media wherein they informed everyone that they will be making a big announcement tomorrow, and asked people to stay tuned. The post mentioned that they will be releasing the title and first look of the upcoming project, and it is being assumed that the announcement would be related to Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda’s film. But before that, here are a few things you need to know about Vijay Deverakonda's Hindi debut!
1. Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi debut film is called Fighter. Vijay shot most of it before Covid with director Puri Jaganannath a big name in Telugu cinema, but a flop in Hindi, unless you would like to recall his Hindi films Shart The Challenge(with Tushar Kapoor) and Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap, the Amitabh Bachchan fanboy flick with Buddha(old) spelt in the title as weirdly as the film turned out to be.
2. Karan Johar planned VD’s Hindi debut from scratch. Initially he wanted to launch VD with a remake of the star’s Telugu film Dear Comrade. Karan paid a whopping price for the remake rights and went ga-ga over the original. When it flopped Dear Comrade was not so dear any more. Karan dropped remake plans and decided to launch VD in an original Hindi film, and not a remake.
3. It was Vijay who suggested Puri Jagganath’s name as director. Karan was not too keen. But then Vijay is Dharma’s new blue-eyed boy. Karan can’t say not to VD for anything. Made at a staggering budget of approximately Rs 125 crores, Fighter will be marketed as a full-scale Dharma Production with Vijay speaking his own lines in Hindi , although his Hindi is self-admittedly , unreliable.
4. Ananya Pandey who plays Vijay’s love interest has almost nothing to do in the film which is a showreel for VD’s acting and action. In fact the first choice for the leading lady’s part was Janhvi Kapoor who has confessed to having a serious crush on VD. But when the role was found to be insubstantial Ananya Pandey was summoned to step in.
5. Vijay plays an MMA(mixed martial arts) expert in Fighter. He trained in this particular strain of the martial arts for three months before he started to shoot.His stunts in the film are going to give Tiger Shroff a run for his money.
