‘Kingdom' trailer creates huge buzz
The trailer delivers a gripping mix of high-octane action and deeply emotional storytelling. At its heart lies the intense bond between Vijay's Suri and Satyadev's Siva, whose chemistry lends the film an emotional depth rarely seen in action dramas. Vijay Deverakonda's performance stands out with raw intensity, emotional vulnerability, and commanding screen presence, already earning praise as one of his best in recent years.
Director Gowtam Tinnanuri infuses Kingdom with his signature storytelling finesse, blending drama with impactful emotions. The sharp, seamless editing by Navin Nooli enhances the narrative's rhythm, keeping the viewer hooked.
Adding another layer of brilliance is Anirudh Ravichander's riveting background score, which builds on his previous musical hits like Anna Antene and Hridayam Lopala. The cinematography by Jomon T. John and Girish Gangadharan captures the grand scale and mood of the story perfectly.
With all elements aligning—from cast and crew to story and sound—Kingdom is poised to be a blockbuster when it hits theatres on July 31

Hansika Motwani Deletes Wedding Photos With Sohael, Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom Faces Protests
Hansika Motwani's fans worry about her marriage after she deleted wedding photos. Vijay Deverakonda's film Kingdom faces backlash in Tamil Nadu for cultural insensitivity. Fans of Hansika Motwani are wondering if there's trouble in her marriage with Sohael Khaturiya. This comes after the actress removed most of their wedding photos and videos from her Instagram page. Hansika and Sohael got married in December 2022 in a lavish ceremony, which was later shown in a reality show called Hansika's Love Shaadi Drama. Now, almost three years later, fans have noticed that the wedding posts are missing, and Hansika hasn't shared anything new on social media since July 18. The Telugu film Kingdom, featuring Vijay Deverakonda in the lead, has sparked major controversy in Tamil Nadu following its global release on July 31. The film, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, has drawn strong backlash from several groups who allege that it misrepresents Tamil culture and disrespects religious beliefs. The protests are being led primarily by the Tamil nationalist party Naam Tamilar Katchi (NTK), which has raised objections over the film's portrayal of Sri Lankan Tamils. In addition, the group has criticised the filmmakers for naming the film's antagonist 'Murugan', a name closely tied to one of Tamil Nadu's most worshipped deities, Lord Murugan, calling it offensive and culturally insensitive. Dhanashree Verma has responded, albeit subtly, to the buzz surrounding her ex-husband Yuzvendra Chahal's recent podcast appearance, where he spoke about their divorce publicly for the first time. The choreographer and digital creator took to Instagram with a peaceful photo dump from her Dubai getaway. The post captured her enjoying simple pleasures like street-side vadapav and pani puri, soaking in the golden hour, and visiting templesoff. With only a month remaining until the release of The Bengal Files, director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri has reacted sharply to legal action taken against the film by members of West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). Agnihotri alleged that the move is an attempt by the state government to silence his voice. Despite the ongoing legal tussle, the filmmaker made it clear that he has no intention of backing down and will continue with all planned promotional activities for the film. Filmmaker Aanand L Rai has issued a strong statement against the AI-generated re-release of his 2013 romantic drama Raanjhanaa, which features an alternate happy ending. Labeling the move as 'a very dangerous precedent," Rai expressed deep concern over the unauthorised use and alteration of his creative work. In his official statement, Rai confirmed that both he and the film's lead actor Dhanush are aligned in their stance against what they describe as an unacceptable tampering of the original narrative. He further warned that such modifications not only undermine artistic integrity but also pose serious risks to the future of filmmaking and the broader creative industry.
