Vijay took three days to master the stutter of 'Liger' lead character

The 'Liger' protagonist played by Vijay has a speech problem, which, according to the actor, added another layer to the character. "My character in the film has a stammering problem and that made it more interesting," Vijay said. "On one hand, he is the guy who is physically so strong and intimidating to others, he is a fighter, but he can't even utter the simple three words 'I love you' to the girl he loves.

Telugu superstar Vijay Deverakonda, who is making his debut as a pan-Indian star with the film 'Liger', says that as much as he loves to do more films, he is bad at multi-tasking and focused on one film at a time.

Speaking in Mumbai, Vijay said: "Honestly, I am really bad at multi-tasking. I can focus on one thing at a time. I get confused otherwise if I take too much on my plate, get confused; it's not in my capability. So I will only do one film at a time."
