Family Star, Vijay Deverakonda’s last theatrical release, was an enormous flop. Next in line for him is the action drama Kingdom, helmed by Gowtham Tinnanuri. Bhagyashri Borse stars as the female lead alongside him. The movie will be made into two parts. The film is scheduled to be released initially on March 28, 2025.
However, Kingdom faced a setback when Hari Hara Veera Mallu took the date. However, this date was not endued for Pawan Kalyan’s film, and the completion of works for Kingdom could not be done in time.
Kingdom was then announced for May 30. Again, rumors persisted online that Hari Hara Veera Mallu’s producers were taking that date as well, and this news would make Vijay’s fans somewhat disappointed.
However, the latest rumor buzzing in Tollywood circles is that Hari Hara Veera Mallu will hit theaters in the second week of June. If this indeed turns out to be true, then the corridors are clear for the Kingdom. Let’s just wait for an official announcement by the Hari Hara Veera Mallu team.
Film Overview
Kingdom is a full-on action drama set in a coastal backdrop. The film sees Vijay Deverakonda in a rugged massy avatar, showing the audience a version of the actor they may not have seen before. Opposite him in the film is Bhagyashri Borse in a lead role while Satyadev plays a crucial character. The movie is said to be the first part of a planned duology, which is adding onto the excitement for its imminent release.
Release Date and Production Status
The film had an early release date on March 28, 2025, but with the releasing of many other big films at the same time, there was a delay. The new release date of the film is May 30, 2025. The crew is working hard to achieve this date, although there are speculations about a possible delay because of composer Anirudh Ravichander’s scoring for the background. Although the crew is confident about its decision, one slight delay is still being weighed as a possibility to ensure the content quality of the movie is retained.
Music and Promotions
Music for Kingdom has been composed by Anirudh Ravichander, following his mark on the soundtrack. The first single release, “Hridayam Lopala,” has already hit the airwaves and received a positive response from the listeners. Promotional activity has started, consisting of ticking the fans off and floating teasers and posters across social media channels.
Pan-India Appeal
Kingdom will be released in several languages, i.e., Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi, to target a wider audience. The teaser gives voiceover credits to Supersizers Jr. NTR for Telugu, Suriya for Tamil, and Ranbir Kapoor for Hindi highlighting the pan-India ambition of the film.
Conclusion
With its compelling storyline, strong performances, and high production values, Kingdom is shaping up to be a significant release for Vijay Deverakonda. While there are minor concerns about meeting the May 30 release date, the production team’s commitment to quality suggests that the film will be worth the wait. Fans eagerly await this action-packed drama that promises to showcase Deverakonda in a new light.
