Vijay Deverakonda said:
I can’t express in words how happy I am with the response for Kingdom. The positive talk started right from the US premieres. Since last night, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing – so many people have called me emotionally saying Anna, we’ve delivered a hit!
This success is possible only because of your love and the blessings of Lord Venkanna Swamy. I will never forget the support of the media as well.
Seeing how much my Telugu people are standing by me since yesterday is overwhelming. I’ve seen how much the fans prayed for the film and how they are celebrating it now.
I want to celebrate this success with the audience. Along with my Telugu fans, I’ll also be meeting the US audience soon.
Initially, I was worried about the Thursday release date. But Naga Vamsi garu had full faith in the film, and his belief has now come true.
The credit for all the appreciation I’ve been receiving for my performance goes to director Gowtam.
My heartfelt thanks to NTR anna for lending his voice over to the teasernand to all the fans and Telugu audience for this immense support.
Producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi said:
As we expected, the film is getting a tremendous response. Reviews are also highly positive. It feels great to hear people say that this is one of the finest technically made Telugu films in recent times.
We have created a Telugu film on par with Hollywood standards. Please come to the theatres and watch it you will definitely enjoy it!
I’m extremely happy that Vijay Deverakonda delivered a hit that his fans have been eagerly waiting for. Anirudh, Navin Nooli and the entire team have put in a huge effort for this film.
We have delivered great content and the media has supported us immensely in taking it to the audience.
The collections are phenomenal on the very first day we have already recovered more than half of the business in several areas. Heartfelt thanks to the audience for giving us another success.
Actor Satyadev said:
I’m really happy with the overwhelming response for Kingdom. Thank you all for showering so much love on the film.
It gives me immense joy that my brother Vijay has made such a strong comeback with this film. When Vijay wins, it feels like I’ve won too.
Vijay is an inspiration to so many people who want to achieve something on their own. It’s amazing to see him succeed like this.
Naga Vamsi garu is a daring producer – he always takes the risk of producing films that others might hesitate to. My heartfelt thanks to him for giving me this opportunity.
The moment Gowtam narrated the story, I knew I had to be a part of this film.
People are talking so positively about the brother sentiment and the performances of all the artists. As Vamsi garu said, this movie offers a Hollywood level experience.
With the energy that Kingdom has given me, I promise to bring more good films to the audience.
Actor Venkatesh said: This is my first success press meet. I watched Kingdom along with the audience and I’m extremely happy with the response to both the film and my role in it.
This is definitely a movie that must be experienced in theatres. It has all the elements that will impress audiences of every section.
Please watch the movie in theatres and enjoy it to the fullest!
