EXCLUSIVE: “I was extremely scared of women till I was 18 years old” – says Liger star Vijay Deverakonda

In the fun segment, the actor revealed that the handsome hunk was once “extremely scared” of women so much so that he couldn’t even look at or talk to them. When asked to tell two truths and one lie about himself, Vijay said, “I was extremely scared of women till I was about 18 years old.”

He continued, “I didn't have the balls to look a woman in the eye or have a conversation. So that's one truth. Because I grew up in a boy's boarding school, I thought women were like a different species. They seemed like an alien species. And you're all very pretty so, it's hard.”

Liger will see South actor Vijay Deverakonda play the role of an underdog boxer who makes his way to international fame. The movie will also feature a cameo of former American professional boxer Mike Tyson. Being made in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages, the movie is scheduled for release in theatres worldwide on August 25, 2022.
