Vijay Deverakonda is all set to return to the big screen with Kingdom, a high-stakes spy action drama directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri. The film is gearing up for a theatrical release on July 31, 2025, in Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil, and has been generating a steady buzz among audiences.

It has been officially confirmed that there will be no paid premieres in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana on the night before release. However, the first-ever premiere show of Kingdom is scheduled for 11 PM IST on Wednesday, though interestingly, it won’t take place in India.

Instead, the premiere will happen in select theaters across the United States, where Telugu-speaking audiences will get an early look. The film will start at 1:30 PM in Eastern Time zones, 12:30 PM in Central, and 10:30 AM on the West Coast, meaning U.S. viewers will get to watch it ahead of the Indian release.

Back home, there are talks of early morning shows in Andhra Pradesh on release day, potentially beginning at 4 AM or 7 AM, though official confirmation is still awaited.

Produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, Kingdom also stars Satya Dev, Ayyappa Sharma, Venkatesh, and others. With music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, and advance bookings off to a promising start in both India and the U.S., all eyes are now on whether the film can live up to the expectations and deliver a thrilling cinematic experience.
