Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda’s much-anticipated spy action thriller Kingdom, directed by Gautham Tinnanuri, has completed its shoot and is currently in post-production. Set against the intense backdrop of Sri Lankan refugees, the film is jointly produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Sowjanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas.Featuring Bhagyashree Borse as the female lead and music by Anirudh Ravichander, Kingdom has already garnered strong hype—especially after its teaser received a massive response, amplified by NTR’s powerful voice-over and slick visuals.

Initially scheduled for release on May 30, it was later postponed to July 4. But with Nithiin’s brother’s movie releasing on the same day, Kingdom faced another delay. The latest buzz suggests a possible July 25 release, but that too remains uncertain as Anirudh is currently tied up with Coolie. If he finishes the background score on time, Kingdom may stick to the July 25 plan.However, the makers are now eyeing August 1 as a backup date. The issue is—Dulquer Salmaan’s film Kantha is also slated for release that day, followed two weeks later by major releases like War 2 (Jr. NTR’s Bollywood debut) and Coolie (starring Rajinikanth). Missing the July 25 slot could risk losing momentum, with competition heating up in August.To maintain the buzz, timely promotions are crucial. Let’s wait and see how the team navigates this release puzzle.
