LEGENDARY boxer Mike Tyson is making his debut in Bollywood, featuring in an upcoming Indian sports action film “Liger.”

The participation of the former professional boxer, known as “the baddest man on the planet,” was announced in a tweet Monday by Karan Johar, one of the film’s producers.

It also stars Indian actor Vijay Deverakonda, who plays a kickboxer with a stutter, local media has reported.

“For the first time ever, the king of the ring will be seen on the big screens of Indian cinema,” Johar said in the tweet. “Welcoming Mike Tyson to the ‘Liger’ team!”

The tweet is accompanied by a video showing Tyson, 55, facing off with Deverakonda, 32.

Tyson has previously appeared in Hollywood films such as playing a fictional version of himself in “The Hangover” (2009) and its sequel “The Hangover Part II” (2011).

He also played a rogue property developer in Hong Kong martial arts film “Ip Man 3” (2015).

“Liger” was originally due to be released Sept. 9 but was delayed as cinemas in Maharashtra, home to India’s financial capital and Bollywood, stayed shut following a devastating wave of the coronavirus.
