Kingdom: Vijay Deverakonda drops the swagger, avoids loud statements and takes a subdued route

Kingdom is Vijay Deverakonda's new film that needs to click, as he is going through back-to-back flops. Vijay gets aggressive with his speeches ahead of his releases, but things are different now.

Vijay Deverakonda on his new film Kingdom

Kingdom is all set to hit the screens on July 31, 2025. The promotions for the film are in full swing, and the makers are not leaving any stone unturned to make it a smash hit at the box office. On the other hand, Vijay Deverakonda, the main lead, needs to score a hit to make a comeback, as it has been a long time since his films clicked at the box office.

From bold to balanced: Vijay’s new strategy ahead of Kingdom's release

There is also massive pressure on him to deliver, as the film has been made on a budget of Rs. 130 crore and has been sold for exorbitant prices in the Telugu states and needs to open with a super hit talk at any cost.

Generally, when any Vijay Deverakonda film is up for release, it is the Arjun Reddy actor who leads from the front and makes big statements about the film and its outcome. But for Kingdom, Vijay is maintaining a very low profile. From the way he dresses for events to his body language, everything is subdued when it comes to Kingdom.

At one of the events held in Tirupati, Vijay Deverakonda became emotional and stated that the Almighty needs to back him one last time, and he will not disappoint his fans in the days to come. Even at the Hyderabad event, Vijay kept his speech simple and stated that the entire credit should go to the director, Gowtam Tinnanuri, and that Kingdom is his dream; the success credit should go to him.

This is not the way Vijay usually speaks. He often makes loud statements and boasts a lot, which land him in trouble. Vijay is one of the most trolled Telugu actors on social media, and the main reason for this is his bold speeches and statements. Going back in time, Vijay stated that his film Liger would make Rs 200 crore at the box office but sadly, the Puri Jagannadh film did not even make Rs 20 crore, and Vijay was trolled brutally.

Now that Kingdom is gearing up for release, he has been instructed to keep things simple and avoid attracting any negativity. A section of anti-fans will be eagerly waiting to troll the film because of Vijay's previous statements, but the makers have made sure that Vijay lets the film do all the talking.
