Kingdom is written and directed by Gautham Tinnanuri. The plot is an exciting spy thriller film. Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banner of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, Kingdom stars Vijay Deverakonda in the role of an undercover constable. Take a look below:
What are the key points of the Kingdom?
One of the strongest features of the film is its music, composed by none other than music composer Anirudh Ravichander. At the pre-release event of the film in Hyderabad, Anirudh praised the project and called it a 'milestone' for everyone. He also shared a heartwarming anecdote about Vijay. He said, 'Five days before the release, he messaged me asking if I was getting enough sleep and rest. This shows the heart of Vijay Deverakonda.'
After disappointing films like World Famous Lover, Liger, and The Family Star, Vijay has all his hopes pinned on 'Kingdom'. Initial reviews suggest that 'Kingdom' could put the actor's career back on track. However, it must be noted that these are initial reviews of the film; once the domestic box office opens, it will be seen whether Vijay Deverakonda's film is a success or a failure.

He recalled that once during a world tour for his stand-up special at South Korea, he was in the same room as BTS in an interview with India Today's sister channel, The Lallantop, said, "I happened to go to Korea once, and there is a very famous band there by the name of BTS. I knew there is a band called BTS and I also know that they are famous. And by chance, I went there for an event to interview a very big celebrity and the band was also there to meet the same person."advertisement"Because I was late, I was in the last batch with those members of the band. So I asked one of the members, 'Who are you and where are you from', and he told me they are from BTS. I thought that the Korean organising team has called for a behind-the-scenes team. I was totally unaware of the fact that they are famous people. Later, when I told people that for 35 minutes I was in the same room as them, they fainted," he added. The South Korean music band consists of Jin, Suga, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook. Although K-Pop musicians have been active since 2010, they temporarily took a break as their members enlisted for compulsory military training.
