Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom Roars at the Box Office with ₹53 Crore Gross; Sequel in the Works
Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda is back with a bang! His latest release, Kingdom, hit theatres on a non-holiday Thursday and has already become a box office sensation. Within just two days, the film has reportedly grossed an impressive ₹53 crore worldwide, marking the biggest-ever opening in Vijay’s career.
During a media interaction as part of the post-release promotions, Vijay shared his joy over the film’s overwhelming response. “Kingdom received positive reactions from the premiere itself. I’m happy to see my fans smiling and supporting this film across not only the Telugu states but also in key markets like Kerala, despite there being no Malayalam version,” he said.
Vijay also highlighted what sets Kingdom apart — its emotional depth. “What impressed me most about Kingdom was the emotional storytelling. It’s not just a gangster drama. It’s about the bond between two brothers, layered with themes like patriotism and a tribal conflict,” he explained.
In a major reveal, the Arjun Reddy star confirmed that Kingdom was always envisioned as a two-part saga. “The first part shows Suri’s journey for his brother Siva. But there’s more to tell. Director Gowtam Tinnanuri has a grand vision for Part 2, and it’s going to be even more intense and mind-blowing,” he assured.
Also starring Bhagyashri Borse and Satyadev Kancharana, the film is a joint production of Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Stikara Studios. The rich visuals and world-building are elevated by Anirudh Ravichander’s standout soundtrack.
With the sequel now confirmed, Kingdom is shaping up to be Tollywood’s next big franchise.
