Liger teaser out! Vijay Deverakonda transforms from being Mumbai’s ‘slumdog’ to MMA champion

The first teaser of actor Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming movie Liger is out. The movie marks the Telugu actor's debut in the Hindi film industry.

In the first glimpse, the makers of the movie show Deverakonda’s journey from being a ‘chaiwaala’ in Mumbai to becoming a professional boxer. The movie is said to be a sports film about a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, who eventually competes in the United States.

As the teaser clip opens, it shows an announcer standing in a ring introducing the actor as a ‘boy from India, slumdog from Mumbai and the chaiwaala, Liger.’ Throughout the video, snippets of Liger’s struggle from making ends meet to fighting in the streets of Mumbai leading to his epic fight in the boxing ring is shown. In some of the snippets, ace actor Ronit Roy’s character is captured while Ananya Panday is missing.

Liger is directed by Puri Jagannadh who made his directorial debut with the highly successful Telugu film Badri. It starred actors Renu Desai, Pawan Kalyan and Ameesha Patel. Meanwhile, Liger is backed by actor-turned-producer Charmmekaur.

Along with Vijay and Ananya, the film also features actor and boxer Mike Tyson, who will play a pivotal role. According to reports, the whole team and crew members had shot with the boxer in the US earlier this year. They had even shared BTS pictures on social media.

The much-awaited movie is set to hit the theatres in August 2022 and will also release in Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada languages.

Vijay shot to fame after his Telugu film Pelli Choopulu broke records in 2016. Later, he starred in a string of movies that also grabbed attention and increased his fan following.

Watch The Sound with Mark Ronson Apple TV+ explores the curious link between music and technology

In The Salmon of Doubt , Douglas Adams writes: “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great

Studying women presidents and prime ministers on screen, from Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up to Dimple Kapadia in A Thursday

In 2016, when I heard Hillary Clinton had lost the US Presidential race to Donald Trump, I took it as a confirmation that this is how much the US hated its women. And I felt temporarily gratified to live in a country which elected a woman as its third prime minister. This was before I remembered Indira Gandhi was the only woman prime minister we have had, and she was an outlier. Her strong and uncompromising leadership style skews meaningful analysis of gender representation in governance. Anyway, for all the breaking of paths and glass ceilings, trailblazers like Gandhi and Iron Lady Margaret Thatcher commonly belong to conservative or traditional parties. Left to the simultaneously imaginative and mimetic art of comedy, the first woman US president looks like Meryl Streep’s Janine Orlean in Don’t Look Up and Julia Louis Dreyfus’ Selina Meyer in the HBO show Veep . They are both are anti-feminists and women of power. Yet they could not be more different in how they reflect the r

Netflix's Lupin acknowledges dangers of fantasies of omnipotence, introducing viewers to a socially conscious gentleman thief

By Emma Bielecki Netflix’s immensely successful new French-language show Lupin has introduced a new generation of anglophone viewers to one of the most popular characters in French popular fiction, Arsène Lupin, gentleman thief. Lupin was created in 1905 by the writer Maurice Leblanc at the behest of publisher Pierre Lafitte, who had recently launched a general interest magazine, Je Sais Tout . Lafitte wanted a serial that would guarantee a loyal readership for his magazine, as the Sherlock Holmes stories had for the Strand Magazine. Drawing inspiration from Conan Doyle and EW Hornung’s Raffles stories, Leblanc obliged by creating a flamboyant and ultimately always benign trickster figure. Cat burglar, con artist, master of disguise, Lupin is also a brilliant detective and righter of wrongs. His appeal has proved enduring: in addition to the original 20 volumes of stories authored by Leblanc, there have been countless plays, radio shows, TV series and films, from Italian pornos
