The whole team is very happy with 'Kingdom's' output. Today, I want to especially speak about my fans. You all are God's gift to me. Whether my films are hits or flops, you have always shown me the same love and faith. At today's fan meet, I met nearly 2000 fans, and most of them told me, 'Anna, this time we're hitting big.' You've made me one of your own, and I know you want to see me succeed. Cinema is the reason you know me, and for you, I put my heart and soul into every film I do."

A special mention to Naga Vamsi garu – he takes the kind of risks that others hesitate to, producing unique films and scoring hits, proving himself as a gutsy producer. He has taken full responsibility for promoting this film along with Vijay."

A video capturing her heartfelt reaction has gone viral on social media. In the video shared by Artistry Buzz, Deverakonda's mother, Madhavi, was seen getting emotional after Anirudh Ravichander praised Vijay's performance in Kingdom. Anirudh said, 'I have watched the film—it's a milestone in Vijay's career as well as in my career." Fans have also commented and dropped heart emojis. Vijay Deverakonda's rumoured girlfriend and actress Rashmika Mandanna was mighty impressed with the trailer of his upcoming film 'Kingdom'. 'Wohhhooo!! What a trailer this is! Madness! Ahh! Got to wait 4 more days after watching this cool of a fair! @thedeverakonda I always keep telling you- you are something else! One day I wish I learn my craft so well that one day I can do the 50% of acting that you do! You are just …. Something else!" she wrote, while praising Vijay Deverakonda. Directed by National Award-winner Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film is positioned as a high-octane gangster saga that centers on power and the bond between two brothers. The trailer, released earlier this week, received a thunderous reception on social media. The Hindi version features a voice-over by Ranbir Kapoor, while Jr NTR and Suriya have lent their voices to the Telugu and Tamil trailers, respectively. In the film, Vijay Deverakonda plays Surya, a secret agent thrown deep into a covert mission that completely alters the course of his life. As the trailer unfolds, Surya finds himself in hostile territory, forced to let go of everything familiar. But what begins as a straightforward spy assignment quickly spirals into something much darker. The mission turns sideways, landing him in prison, where he eventually bonds with those he was meant to destroy. The buzz isn't limited to India. Overseas pre-sales have also seen sharp movement, prompting the producers to schedule massive premiere shows on July 30, a day before its worldwide release. Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, and featuring music by Anirudh Ravichander, Saamrajya is set to release on July 31, 2025, in Hindi as Saamrajya, and in Telugu and Tamil as Kingdom. The cast also includes Bhagyashri Borse and Manish Chowdhary. The Hindi version is presented by Aditya Bhatia (Adwise Movies) and Atul Rajani and will be distributed across North India by AA Films.
