Vijay Devarakonda’s last Dear Comrade failed at the box office. He is now doing a film titled World Famous Lover and right after that is turning Fighter under the direction of dynamic director Puri Jagannath.
Expectations are increasing on the project as Puri recently scored a mass hit with iSmart Shankar and Vijay Devarakonda's craze is increasing across the country after Arjun Reddy and it’s remake with Shahid Kapoor turned out to be hits. Fighter is turning out to be a Pan India project after Vijay Devarakonda narrated the script to Karan Johar who decided to present the film.
Karan Johar managed to convince Sridevi's daughter Janhvi Kapoor to star in the film and the makers are spending a whopping Rs 3.5 crs for her remuneration. RX 100 sensation Karthikeya will be locking horns with Vijay Devarakonda, if a grapevine is to be believed.
It is known that the film is based on boxing backdrop and the villain too will be a boxer. Karthikeya did a negative role in Nani's Gang Leader. Movie lovers are getting excited at the prospect of Vijay Devarakonda and Karthikeya's fight on-screen as both have macho physiques and rebel attitudes.
