‘Maargan' soul track is intense
The lyrical video of 'Soul of Maargan' was unveiled today, offering a gripping glimpse into the enigmatic Black Devil character played by Ajay Dhishan. Composed by Vijay Antony, the intense musical score perfectly captures the fierce and menacing presence of the character. Lyricist Bhashyasree conveys the raw and brutal essence of the Black Devil through striking verses, while Akshara's powerful vocals elevate the song's emotional impact. The accompanying visuals are haunting and unsettling, deepening the track's dark and suspenseful mood.
'Maargan' features a strong ensemble cast, including Samuthirakani, Mahanati Shankar, Prithika, Brigida, Vinod Sagar, Ajay Dhishan, Deepshikha, Archana (of Kalakka Povathu Yaaru fame), Kanimozhi, and Antagaram Natarajan in key roles.
Cinematographer Yuva S handles the film's visuals, while Raja A serves as the art director. Vijay Antony also composed the music for the film.
Asian Suresh Entertainment will release the movie across the Telugu states.

Telugu cinema news: Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom has finally been announced. The film starring Bhagyashri and directed by Gowtam Tannanuri is set to be released in Telugu, Tamil and Telugu cinemas on 31st July 2025. Here are the Telugu Movies Updates which is makers have not announced a release date for the Hindi version, despite having released a teaser in Hindi four months earlier. The team may have decided to skip a theatrical release in Hindi, and instead release Saamraajya directly on Netflix. According to reports, Netflix originally had a different agreement with the producers. Due to the multiple delays, Netflix reportedly asked the team to release it in theaters as soon as they could. It wouldn't make sense to OTT release dates the Hindi version of the film without the support of major multiplex chains, and the eight-week rule between a theatrical and OTT updates release would complicate matters. The team has reportedly decided to bypass a theatrical release of the Hindi version in favor of a direct OTT reviews. A team official explanation is still to be received. I feel the producers need to step up the promotion game to create some hype and audiences to the theaters. Keep an eye out for interesting updates about Kingdom. The release of the Telugu Movie HQ Photos has been delayed twice. The film was originally scheduled for a May 30 summer release, but was later changed to July 4.

The release date was again pushed back.

Vijay Deverakonda says he could have avoided flop movies if he came from a strong film family: ‘Now, I will not go to shoot if…'
Once hailed as India's next biggest star, Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda's career is now a textbook example of how flying too close to the sun can scorch even the brightest stars. With not a single box office success in the past seven years, Deverakonda's 'image' is now like a shadow of his past self. However, the actor is currently eyeing a massive comeback with Kingdom, a film in which both he and his fans have placed high hopes. Recently, Deverakonda opened up about the setbacks he's faced over the years, maintaining that had he belonged to a film family with a strong foundation and guiding voices, some of his missteps might have been avoided. He also mentioned that he moved forward with certain projects despite lacking full conviction in their scripts, simply because he felt he didn't have the voice to demand refinement. Without explicitly using the word 'nepotism', he told The Hollywood Reporter India, 'I was never in a position to tell a director… I don't think people outside the industry will get this… but when you do not come from an 'establishment' of a sort and you do not have that support system, you do not have the space to tell the director that you are not ready to go to shoot yet with this script and that it needs more work.' Also Read | Jitendra Kumar reacts to kiss scene being removed from Panchayat: 'Kahani mein maza aana chahiye' He continued, 'Whereas another actor, with similar experience but has the support around him, would know from childhood itself that he doesn't have to go to shoot. Or his father will come and tell him, 'No, spend two-three more months. I'll get you two-three more writers.' I never had that space, until recently. Now, if I'm not happy with something, I talk to the producers and directors, and say that 'I will not shoot this because the producer's money, the director's career, and my face and the reputation I have built are all important.'' Earlier in his career, Deverakonda said he often went along with projects despite doubts, simply because a producer insisted or a director believed in the vision. But today, he's adopted a new approach. 'Now, I've decided that if we do it, we should all be solidly happy with it in the first place. So, that's something I've learned to do and found comfort in doing. I've found that place in life, the leverage and a sense of security to be able to have those conversations,' he added. ICYMI | Dipika Chikhlia says Arun Govil's casting as Dasharath in Ranbir Kapoor's Ramayana is 'out of context': 'If you played Ram…' Since the success of Taxiwaala (2018), Deverakonda hasn't had even a single hit and his subsequent films like Dear Comrade (2019), World Famous Lover (2020), Liger (2022), Kushi (2023) and The Family Star (2024) underperformed at the box office. The only success he tasted during this period was with the Prabhas-starrer Kalki 2898 AD (2024), in which he made a cameo appearance. Kingdom, helmed by Jersey director Gowtam Tinnanuri, will hit the screens on July 31.

Why did Vijay Deverakonda face backlash for using a tagline to his name?
Vijay Deverakonda recently generated quite a bit of hype with the exciting release date promo for his next film, Kingdom. The actor has worked on his physique and is putting on a rugged look for this project. He now addressed the criticism that came his way after he used a tagline with his name, which had already been done by many stars in the past. Vijay Deverakonda on using 'the' as tagline to his name Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter recently, Vijay Deverakonda opened up about the amount of criticism that came his way after he finalised using a tagline of 'The' to his name. The Kingdom actor mentioned how many other artists before and after him have used special taglines, and nothing was ever said about them. But when it was his turn, there was a lot of scrutiny. In his words, 'Interestingly, no other person ever got backlash for something like that. You can have any name—from Universal Star to People's Star—and people younger than me, older than me, those who debuted before me; everyone has a tagline. I was probably the only one without one. Nobody else gets backlash.' Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom gets a new release date Sithara Entertainments recently unveiled a power-packed promo of Kingdom, featuring a fearless avatar of Vijay Deverakonda in the lead. The makers also revealed the new release date of the film, which will now hit theaters on July 31, 2025. Sharing the glimpse, they penned, 'One man. A heart full of fury. A world that pushed too far. Now it's CARNAGE time.' Kingdom's previous postponements Well, the release date of Kingdom has undergone several postponements in the past. First, the film was scheduled to release on March 28, but later, owing to post-production delays, it got pushed to May 31. The film will be released in multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi. It is touted to be a spy-action thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. Besides Vijay in the lead, the film also stars Bhagyashri Borse as the leading lady, as well as Satyadev as co-lead. Anirudh Ravichander has composed the musical score.
