Everyone has a unique perspective on things, and while many of us believe that some aspects of history are wrong, everything, as they say, has two sides, just like two sides to a coin. One side may be in our favour while the other may not, but that does not necessarily mean the other side is incorrect. It would be fascinating to see how history is interpreted and experienced differently by different people.

Then, Lala works hard to uphold his family’s values by marrying off his sisters. Additionally, Lala experiences issues in his private life, particularly in his union with Sapna.

5 Liger
In the movie, Vijay plays an MMA fighter, and the trailer features numerous fight scenes with the actor. But because he has trouble speaking, people make fun of him, and he only occasionally roars when it’s necessary. Ananya, who plays his love interest, doesn’t hesitate to stand by him when he needs it most. A notable cameo appearance by Mike Tyson involves him challenging Vijay’s tigress.
The film, which is being produced by Puri Jagannadh, Karan Johar, and Charmme Kaur, is scheduled to be released on August 25, 2022.
