As the highly anticipated action drama Kingdom gears up for its theatrical release on July 31, 2025, lead actor Vijay Deverakonda made a spiritual pit stop at the revered Tirupati temple. Joined by his co-star Bhagyashri Borse, the actor was seen dressed in traditional white attire, seeking divine blessings before the film’s grand debut.
Traditional Visit and Fan Frenzy
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Deverakonda is seen exiting the temple premises clad in a white mundu and shirt, while Bhagyashri looked graceful in a simple saree. The duo was surrounded by fans and paparazzi as they left the temple after offering prayers. The temple visit marks a spiritual start to the final promotional phase of Kingdom.
Recovery from Dengue and Back to Promotions
The temple appearance also marks Vijay’s first major public outing since his brief hospitalization for dengue. Thankfully, the actor has made a speedy recovery and jumped straight back into the promotional campaign. His dedication to the film has impressed both fans and industry peers alike.
Rashmika Mandanna, who has often been romantically linked with Deverakonda, took to social media to share a heartfelt message of support. “Vijay Deverakonda, I always keep telling you—you are something else! One day I wish I learn my craft so well that I can do even 50% of what you do,” she wrote, further fueling buzz around their rumored relationship.
Kingdom: A Tale of Loyalty and Sacrifice
Directed by Jersey fame Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom is a Telugu-language action drama that tells the story of an undercover spy torn between duty and family. Vijay plays a man assigned to dismantle a criminal empire headed by none other than his own brother, Siva.

Bhagyashri Borse plays the female lead, while actor Satyadev features in a significant supporting role. Kingdom also marks music composer Anirudh Ravichander’s first collaboration with Vijay Deverakonda, while reuniting him with Tinnanuri after their successful partnership on Jersey.
Busy Road Ahead for Vijay
With Kingdom just days away from release, anticipation is at an all-time high. Meanwhile, Deverakonda’s calendar remains packed with upcoming projects like VD14 and SVC59, keeping the star firmly in the spotlight well into 2026.
