Puri asks Vijay Deverakonda to start training

It is known that Puri Jagannadh and Vijay Deverakonda are coming together for an action drama in which the latter will be seen as a boxer.

If the latest reports are to go by, Puri Jagannadh is planning to resume shooting from next month. He has reportedly asked Vijay Deverakonda to kick-start physical training in order to get back to right shape. Vijay is hitting the gym and shedding a kilo or two to get back to his pre-lockdown look.

Vijay underwent martial arts training for his role in the film. He will start training with professional MMA artists soon before rejoining the sets.

Even the leading lady Ananya Panday is expected to join the shooting from next month. The shooting will take place in specially erected sets in Hyderabad.

Puri Jagannadh and Karan Johar are planning to wrap up the entire shoot by the end of the year. They are contemplating a summer 2021 release for the film.
