Kingdom (2025) – A Spy Thriller Fit for a King Brace yourself for a high-octane cinematic experience as “Kingdom”, a gripping Telugu-language action spy thriller, storms into theatres on 4 July 2025. Directed by the visionary Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film marks a bold new step into the espionage genre, featuring Vijay Deverakonda like never before, as a deep-cover agent navigating deception, duty, and destiny.

Jointly produced by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, Kingdom promises to be a genre-defining Pan-India blockbuster, crafted with international scale and desi soul. With a ₹100 crore budget and a star cast loaded with promise, the film is set to launch a spy duology that could change the face of Telugu action cinema.

👑 A Kingdom of Secrets and Shadows

Set against a backdrop of geopolitical tension and covert operations, Kingdom tells the story of Suri (played by Vijay Deverakonda) — a brooding intelligence operative caught between personal loss and national mission. As his enemies grow more invisible and the stakes rise higher, Suri must unravel a conspiracy that threatens the very sovereignty of his homeland.

Director Gowtam Tinnanuri, best known for his emotional dramas, reinvents himself with this stylized, edge-of-your-seat thriller, blending intense action, layered storytelling, and raw emotion.
