Mike Tyson’s Punch Gave Vijay Deverakonda A Migraine

Vijay Deverakonda said he had a migraine for a whole day after he was punched by boxing legend Mike Tyson, who has a cameo in Liger, which also stars Ananya Panday.

During a promotional event, Deverakonda and Panday talked about their camaraderie with Tyson. Panday recounted one incident and said, "Unhone mere kandhe par sirf haath rakha tha (He only kept his arm on my shoulder) and I was like, I swear I fell because his hand was so heavy. I was scared earlier, but he was very sweet. I would like to believe that we are friends."

Talking about the incident when Tyson punched Deverakonda by mistake, he said, "Jab subah main set par aaya, toh production ne bola Tiger sir ke shoes nahi mil rahe hai kyuki unke foot ka size 14 hai (When I reached the set in the morning, the production team told me that they couldn't find shoes for Tiger sir as his feet size is 14). I have big feet and mera size 10 hai. When he came to set and said hi. His wrist size was also big." He added, "When he punched me by mistake during rehearsals, I had a migraine for the whole day. I didn't get knocked out, but my body wanted to fall down."

Liger is all set to have a pan-India release on August 25.
