After a string of experimental films and mixed results at the box office, Vijay Deverakonda is back with what promises to be the biggest action film of his career — Kingdom. Set to release worldwide on July 31, 2025, this pan-India film combines emotion, rebellion, and adrenaline in one gripping package.
What Is Kingdom About?
Kingdom is a high-voltage spy-action thriller set against a volatile backdrop of border politics and betrayal. Vijay plays Suri, a police constable who becomes a prisoner, then a revolutionary leader rising from the ashes.
“I will do anything… even destroy everything,” he says in the teaser, hinting at a darker transformation arc.
The film promises raw intensity, large-scale action, and strong emotional undercurrents — all under director Gowtam Tinnanuri, known for Jersey.
