International boxer roped in for Vijay Deverakonda's film!

Director Puri Jagannadh’s boxing drama with Vijay Deverakonda is turning out to be bigger by day. The film is not only being made as a pan India movie, but it is now also adding international cast members. The film requires a famous boxer to play a key role in the movie. Initially, Puri wanted to approach boxing legend Mike Tyson but he dropped off the idea as it would not be easy to convince him.

After Karan Johar came on board as one of the producers, his team has approached another international boxer. Currently, negotiations are going with him. If the deal is struck, his name will be announced.

The film is currently being shot in Mumbai. The new schedule will be wrapped up next week. Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday are the lead pair while Ramya Krishna and Ronit Roy are playing key roles.
