Vijay Devrekonda and Ananya Panday

Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday get along like a house on fire. The duo, which is shooting for Puri Jagannadh's multi-lingual, gelled well from day one on the set. There is talk that the Arjun Reddy (2017) star and Panday's chemistry on screen is smoldering. They have been already called the new Jodi in town, so it won't be long before there is a whiff of romance.

Recently, they were shooting for some lovey-dovey scenes at Madh Island. The two have a common connection - Karan Johar. Both are being mentored by him.

And now, coming back to this duo, it's film is tentatively titled Fighter and seems to be a volatile love story. Taran Adarsh has taken to his Twitter account and announced that the 40-day schedule of the film has been completed in Mumbai. Take a look:
