Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom Faces Release Date Confusion Again

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.

Jr NTR Walks Out, Nani Joins Shouryuv’s Next Action Drama

Jr NTR Steps Away, Nani Reunites with Shouryuv for High-Octane Drama

In a major shift in casting buzz within Telugu cinema, Natural Star Nani is now set to headline Shouryuv’s highly anticipated second directorial venture, which was initially imagined with Jr. NTR in the lead.

According to sources close to the development, Shouryuv, the filmmaker behind the emotionally resonant Hi Nanna, has realigned his vision after Jr NTR reportedly opted out due to his packed lineup through 2029, which includes mega projects like Devara 2, War 2, Made in India (presented by SS Rajamouli), and upcoming films with Prashanth Neel, Nelson, and Trivikram.

Although never officially confirmed, insiders suggest Tarak had given an informal nod to the project, which Shouryuv had been developing over the last 15 months. Set against the backdrop of Hyderabad and other metro cities, the film was described by the director as “1,000 times more intense than Hi Nanna,” merging high emotion with action on a grand scale.

With Jr. NTR gracefully stepping aside, the film now finds a new anchor in Nani, marking a full-circle moment. Nani, who played the lead in Shouryuv’s debut, will now star in the director’s most ambitious project yet. Pre-production is already underway, with Vyra Entertainment backing the film and Nani’s long-time manager Venkat coming on board as co-producer.

Meanwhile, Nani is currently busy shooting for The Paradise with Dasara director Srikanth Odela and will soon begin work on Sujeeth’s next, following They Call Him OG.

With this dynamic change, all eyes are now on how Shouryuv and Nani’s second collaboration shapes up—bringing together heart and high-stakes action.

Ravi Teja’s RT 76 Aims for Lightning-Fast Shoot: Just 50 Days?

Mass Maharaja Ravi Teja shows no signs of slowing down. While fans eagerly await the release of his next film, Mass Jathara, scheduled to hit theaters on August 27, 2025, the star has already jumped into his next project—tentatively titled RT 76.

Helmed by Kishore Tirumala, the buzz surrounding RT 76 isn’t just about its cast or story. The talk of the town is that the makers are planning to wrap the entire shoot in just 50 days, an impressive feat by current Tollywood standards.

Can a High-Quality Telugu Film Be Shot in 50 Days?

If RT 76 achieves this ambitious goal, it will set a new benchmark for efficient filmmaking in Tollywood. In an era where shooting schedules stretch for months, wrapping up a full-length commercial entertainer in under two months could inspire many future productions.

Insiders say the team has meticulously planned every detail, from casting to location schedules, to avoid delays.

 Star Cast and Crew

While an official announcement is awaited, Ketika Sharma is reportedly cast as the female lead. There’s also strong buzz that Mamitha Baiju and Kayadu Lohar are in talks for other prominent roles.

The film is

  •  Directed by: Kishore Tirumala

  •  Music by: Bheems Ceciroleo

  •  Produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under the Sri Lakshmi Venkateswara Cinemas banner

With Mass Jathara nearing release and RT 76 already underway, Ravi Teja continues to maintain his reputation as one of the most consistent stars in the Telugu film industry.

Keerthy Suresh’s Uppu Kappurambu Trailer Disappoints Ahead of OTT Release

OTT Watch: Keerthy Suresh’s Uppu Kappurambu Trailer Fails to Impress

Keerthy Suresh’s upcoming satirical drama Uppu Kappurambu is gearing up for a direct OTT release on Amazon Prime Video on July 4, 2025. However, the recently launched trailer has failed to make the kind of impact fans were expecting.

 A Quirky Setup Gone Overboard?

Set in the fictional village of Chittijayapuram, the story follows a woman with no political background—played by Keerthy Suresh—who is suddenly appointed as the head of the village. What starts as a satirical take on rural politics takes a bizarre twist when Suhas, playing the caretaker of the village graveyard, reveals there’s only room left for four more burials.

While the premise promises a blend of dark humor and rural absurdity, the trailer feels like an uneven mashup of forced comedy, theatrical characters, and jarring tonal shifts. The quirky setup loses steam quickly due to its over-the-top treatment.

 Star Cast & Crew

The film is directed by Ani.V. Sasi and produced by Radhika Lavu under Ellanar Films. Alongside Keerthy Suresh and Suhas, the film stars:

  • Babu Mohan

  • Shatru

  • Talluri Rameshwari

  • Subhaleka Sudhakar

  • Vishnu Oi

  • Sivannarayana

While the trailer leaves much to be desired, all eyes are on whether the full film can pull off its unique narrative when it premieres on Amazon Prime Video.

Sekhar Kammula on Leader 2: “People Have Changed More Than Politicians”

Leader 2 in the Making? Sekhar Kammula Shares His Thoughts

As anticipation builds for Kuberaa, filmmaker Sekhar Kammula has finally addressed the long-standing fan demand surrounding Leader 2—a sequel to his 2010 political drama Leader that launched Rana Daggubati into Telugu cinema.

In a recent interview during Kuberaa promotions, Kammula confirmed that the idea of Leader 2 is still alive, but the changing political and social climate has made him rethink its narrative direction.

“I wanted to make a sequel to Leader. I had the thought initially, but now politics have changed—and more than that, people have changed. I need that one strong line to build the story,” Kammula said.

 The Legacy of a Leader

When Leader was released in 2010, it stood out for its realistic portrayal of youth leadership, political morality, and public service. Though it had a modest box office run, it garnered a cult following over the years, especially among politically aware youth. The film’s message, nuanced storytelling, and Rana Daggubati’s impactful debut turned it into a modern classic in Telugu cinema.

 What’s Holding Back Leader 2?

Kammula revealed that while he has a rough script for the sequel, he’s not sure if it reflects the complexities of current-day politics.

“The mindset of people has evolved more than that of politicians,” he noted, hinting that a mere continuation of Leader won’t suffice—the story needs to speak to today’s India.

Both Rana and Kammula have previously acknowledged public interest in the sequel, and the filmmaker’s latest remarks offer hope that Leader 2 could happen when the timing and message align just right.

 What’s Next for Sekhar Kammula?

For now, Kammula is focused on the release of Kuberaa, a social thriller starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, releasing this Friday. He is also in early talks with Nani for another project under Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP, the banner behind Love Story and Kuberaa.

Vishnu Manchu Introduces Son Avaram as Young Tinnadu in Kannappa

The mythological action epic Kannappa is turning into a true family affair for the Manchu clan. After announcing that his daughters would be a part of the film, Vishnu Manchu has now officially introduced his younger son, Avaram, as a part of the film’s cast.

The big-budget devotional saga, set for release on June 27, features Vishnu in the titular role, alongside his father, Mohan Babu, and now, all three of Vishnu’s children.

 Avaram Debuts as Young Tinnadu

The film’s team released a heartwarming behind-the-scenes video revealing Avaram Manchu’s role as young Tinnadu—the fearless boy who would eventually grow into the legendary devotee of Lord Shiva, Kannappa.

In the clip, Avaram is seen transforming into the character with remarkable ease, donning traditional attire and showing a spark that has impressed early viewers.

“Little warrior. Big dreams,” the caption from the official announcement read.
“A behind-the-scenes peek into Avaram’s transformation as young Tinnadu — the fearless boy who grew up to become the epic devotee of Lord Shiva in #Kannappa! Har Har Mahadev Har Ghar Mahadev.”

 The Manchu Family Onscreen Together

With Mohan Babu, Vishnu Manchu, Ariana & Viviana Manchu, and now Avaram, Kannappa becomes a rare film that features an entire star family across three generations.

Shot on a grand scale, Kannappa is inspired by the life of the legendary Shaivite devotee and is expected to blend mythology with high-octane action and emotion. The film has already created a strong buzz for its visuals, scale, and multi-star presence.
