21 Jan 2020

A lot is being written, seen and shared about Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakondas Bollywood debut in Fighter , a Pan India film to be made in Hindi and all south Indian languages which being directed by Puri Jagannath, co-produced by Karan Johar , Puri Jagannath and Charmee Kaur. Since its Vijays first full-on action film, he has been training non-stop for it, losing weight and preparing to take off his shirt on camera. Having said all of this, we still had no confirmation of who Vijays leading lady would be in Fighter.Now, it can be told it is Ananya Panday, Karan Johars blue-eyed girl after Alia Bhatt.Coincidentally, Alia too is making her Telugu debut this year (in SS Rajamoulis RRR ). In both Puri and Rajamoulis projects, it was Karan Johar who was instrumental in getting his protges on board. A source very close to Karan Johar informs that Karans other blue-eyed girl Janhvi Kapoor was being seriously considered. But Janhvi couldnt adjust her dates, though she seriously wanted to be part of the film. It was when Karan asked Ananya Panday (who made her debut in Johars Student Of The Year 2 ). And she readily agreed, says the source. Like Janhvi, Ananya is a big Vijay Deverakonda fan.The two did a fun photo-shoot together and are now getting ready for the first schedule of the film.
