Ahead Of The Big Announcement, Here Are  5 Things To Know  About Vijay Deverakonda’s Hindi Debut - EXCLUSIVE
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.
