The highly-awaited movie Kingdom, featuring Vijay Deverakonda, is making quite a splash prior to its May 30 release. Initially booked for March 28 release, the action-drama is now stepping up the promotional machinery, offering a more intimate glimpse of the film’s emotional and thematic richness. The latest buzz involves the promo launch of the first single’s promo, called Hridayam Lopala, which has already sparked imagination among the viewers.
A Passionate Song of Pain: ‘Hridayam Lopala’ Promo Released
The promo for Hridayam Lopala was recently posted by Vijay Deverakonda himself on Instagram. The love song, performed by music maestro Anirudh Ravichander and soulful Anumita Nadesan, has lyrics by Krishna Kanth. The video depicts a close-up moment between Vijay and leading lady Bhagyashri Borse, sitting on the beach and locking lips in a passionate kiss.
Deverakonda posted the following with poetic flair:
“In the shadows of betrayal, In the pretence of a bond, There is tense attraction.” He spoke of his confidence in the song and referred to it as “an Anirudh song that will become a non-stop replayed favourite.”

Setting the Stage: A Kingdom in Chaos
Prior to this love interlude, the creators had released a 115-second teaser full of intense visuals. It showed a ravaged world with suffering, persecution, and desperate rebellion. In the midst of turmoil, the entry of the titular ‘king’—portrayed by Deverakonda—bodes well with a change in fortune. One such intense scene is of him in police custody, asserting, “I will do anything, sir. If needed, I will burn everything,” emphasizing his determination to resist for justice and his folk.
A Technological First: AI-Designed Thematic Video
To add to the film’s uniqueness, Kingdom has made a cinematic breakthrough by being the first film to feature an entirely AI-designed thematic video for its soundtrack. This bold step is an indication of a marriage between technology and storytelling not commonly found in Indian cinema, breaking the conventions of music and visuals presentation.
Anticipation Builds for May 30 Release
With its mix of revolution, romance, and action, Kingdom is all set to be a film extravaganza. As Vijay Deverakonda assumes the role of a revolutionary leader, fans are waiting with bated breath for the theatrical release of the movie. If the promos are anything to go by, Kingdom will be a gripping story of power, love, and redemption.
