B-town says ‘NamasteTyson’ to Mike Tyson

Former heavyweight world boxing champion Mike Tyson is all set to mark his first appearance in an Indian film. He has been roped in for Vijay Deverakonda-starrer Liger.

The makers of the film welcomed the legend on September 27 with the hashtag ‘NamasteTYSON’. Reportedly, Tyson will make a cameo appearance in the climax portions of Liger. Sharing the news, Karan Johar tweeted a video and wrote, “For the first time ever, the king of the ring will be seen on the big screens of Indian cinema! Welcoming @MikeTyson to the #LIGER team!”

South star Vijay Deverakonda, who is making his Hindi film debut with Liger, also shared the same video and wrote, “We promised you Madness! We are just getting started… For the first time on Indian Screens. Joining our mass spectacle – #LIGER The Baddest Man on the Planet The God of Boxing. The Legend, the Beast, the Greatest of all Time! IRON MIKE TYSON #NamasteTYSON.”
