Kingdom Release Date Still Unclear: Delays & Clashes Create Buzz
Article by Satya B | Published: 20 June 2025
The uncertainty around the release of Vijay Deverakonda’s much-awaited film Kingdom continues to grow. Despite two previous postponements, the makers have yet to lock in a final release date, with July 25 and August 1 now emerging as potential options.
Originally slated for May 30, then July 4, the release was delayed due to post-production and strategic timing. Now, the unexpected postponement of Hari Hara Veera Mallu (HHVM) has added another twist. With HHVM eyeing July 24 for release, the Kingdom team finds itself at a crossroads.
Insiders reveal that producer Naga Vamsi is reluctant to enter the July box-office race if Pawan Kalyan’s HHVM locks in the same week. If HHVM confirms July 24, Kingdom might avoid that window entirely. Otherwise, July 25 could still be viable, with Thammudu already clearing the way.
However, even August comes with challenges. With big-budget films like War 2 and Coolie releasing on August 14, Kingdom would get only a two-week theatrical window—far from ideal for a film that needs strong word-of-mouth and sustained momentum.
The delays have already begun to stir negative buzz online. Without a confirmed release date, the makers are also holding back on promotions—critical for boosting pre-release hype.
Directed by Gautham Tinnanuri and starring Bhagyashri Borse opposite Vijay Deverakonda, Kingdom remains one of the most awaited but increasingly delayed Telugu films of the year. A decision on the final release date is expected soon.
