“We’ve Cleared Our First Big Test With Kingdom”: Producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi

The highly anticipated Telugu film Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role, is all set to hit the screens worldwide on July 31st. Also starring Bhagyashree Borse and Satyadev in key roles, the film is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and jointly produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, with Srikara Studios presenting the project. Rockstar Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music.

Audiences have built massive expectations around Kingdom, especially after the impressive response to its promotional material. The trailer, in particular, has elevated the buzz to new heights.

As the film gears up for release tomorrow (Thursday), the team interacted with media at a press meet.

Speaking at the event, Actor Vijay Deverakonda said: “We are extremely satisfied with the film’s output and deeply moved by the phenomenal response we’re seeing in pre-bookings. Thanks to the unwavering support of Telugu audiences, we’re able to face the release with a calm confidence.

Kingdom is helmed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the same filmmaker who gave us Jersey. The emotional depth in Kingdom will completely captivate audiences. Every war in history has been fought for family, homeland, or love — and this one is no different.

Kingdom is a story deeply rooted in family emotions. Within just two minutes of the film’s start, audiences will be pulled into the world we’ve created. It’s a film that promises a heartfelt experience for everyone who steps into the theatre.”

Producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi added: “In the current climate, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to open strong at the box office — but we’re glad to say Kingdom has passed its first test. The advance bookings have been very encouraging, and we’re hopeful for a successful run with solid collections.

This isn’t a conventional action film — it carries Gowtam Tinnanuri’s signature emotional depth. It’s a gangster drama with wide appeal, crafted to resonate with audiences across all sections.

What makes Kingdom special is that we didn’t rely on sets — most of it was shot in real locations. The effort and dedication of our team will be evident on screen.”

Lead actress Bhagyashree Borse shared: “I play Madhu, a crucial role in the story. I’m grateful to Gowtam sir for writing such a beautifully layered character. It was a joy working alongside Vijay, and I truly hope audiences love the film.”
