Meanwhile, Ananya clearly had a blast with Tyson as she hilariously recreated the infamous ‘Ear Bite’ moment with the legend.

For the unversed, Tyson famously bit Evander Holyfield’s right ear during a 1997 boxing match. The bout is infamously referred to as ‘The Bite Fight’.

Considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, Tyson most famously played a fictionalised version of himself in the 2009 film 'The Hangover' and its 2011 sequel 'The Hangover Part II'.

The movie, which stars Vijay as a boxer, is a pan-Indian film set to release in five languages - Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Earlier scheduled to release on September 9 this year, it was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The new release date hasn’t been announced yet.
