Fighter, which is a bilingual film being made in Telugu and Hindi, is directed by Puri Jagannadh. Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Pandey will be playing the lead roles, and the film is being produced by Charmme Kaur along with director Puri's own production house. 

In the film, Vijay will be seen as a kickboxer. The actor has reportedly been training hard for his role. The story of Fighter goes that Vijay Deverakonda’s character idolises a foreign boxing legend. For this role, the makers have reportedly brought on a Taiwanese boxer, and will start shooting the portions with him and Vijay in a foreign location where the COVID-19 situation is under control.  

After he is done with Fighter, Vijay Deverakonda is expected to team up with director Shiva Nirvana. The actor confirmed this news via Twitter on producer Dil Raju’s birthday recently. He tweeted: “Happy Birthday Raju sir. Blockbuster Gift loading! With love and respect, Shiva Nirvana & Vijay Deverakonda.” Director Shiva Nirvana shared the news on his social media as well. He wrote: “Happy to announce on the occasion of our beloved producer Dilraju sir birthday! My heartfull wishes to him excited and looking forward to work with my dear rowdy. @ TheDeverakonda @ SVC_official #VD12 #shivanirvana4.”
