Vijay Deverakonda is poised for a return to the big screen with the action drama 'Kingdom', which is set to release across cinemas on July 31. For Hindi-speaking audiences, the film will be known as 'Saamrajya', presenting a gripping tale of betrayal and retribution on a grand scale.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, acclaimed for the film 'Jersey', Deverakonda's role sees him transformed physically and mentally as he embodies a character navigating a kingdom rife with deception and broken
loyalties.
"Saamrajya is about a man who never wanted the throne but is forced to rise because the world around him collapses. His scars tell the story of a world’s downfall and possibly its rebirth," said Tinnanuri, highlighting the emotional depth of the film. The production is spearheaded by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, with the Hindi release presented by Aditya Bhatia from Adwise Movies and Atul Rajani. The film's teaser quickly garnered millions of views, showcasing its strong cross-language appeal.
