Vijay Deverakonda made his Bollywood this year with Liger, directed by Puri Jagannath. While there were decent expectations on the film, the film turned out to be a huge disaster upon release, with the film failing to entertain any section of the audience. As a result, Vijay’s second film with Puri, Jana Gana Mana, got shelved.
This film was co-produced by Bollywood star producer Karan Johar. The producer is now said to be interested in producing another film with Vijay in the lead role, but without Puri’s involvement. Considering that Liger turned out to be a huge disaster, it surely is a huge gamble and risk for Karan to have taken that decision.
More details about the film are yet to be announced. On the other hand, Vijay is currently busy with director Siva Nirvana’s Kushi, in which Samantha is the leading lady. The film was supposed to be released in December this year, but got postponed due to various reasons. There is a good buzz surrounding the film for now.
