Vijay Deverakonda’s ‘Kingdom’ Renamed For Hindi Release; Here’s What It’s Now Titled | Telugu Cinema News

Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, renowned for the critically acclaimed Jersey, the film features Vijay Deverakonda in an unprecedented role. Rugged and physically transformed, his character rises from a violent past to lead a kingdom plagued by deceit and shattered loyalties.

“Saamrajya is about a man who never aspired to the throne but is compelled to ascend because the world around him crumbles. His scars narrate the downfall of a world and potentially its rebirth,” explained Tinnanuri, discussing the film’s emotional core.

Saamrajya is produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, with Aditya Bhatia from Adwise Movies and Atul Rajani presenting the Hindi release. The teaser garnered millions of views within hours of its release, featuring voiceovers by Jr NTR (Telugu), Suriya (Tamil), and Ranbir Kapoor (Hindi), enhancing its cross-language appeal. The Hindi dubbed version will be distributed by AA Films across North India.

In a former interview with NEWS9 Live, Vijay revealed that Ranbir Kapoor agreed to lend his voice to the teaser even before Vijay had asked. He credited Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Arjun Reddy who worked with Ranbir on Animal, for connecting them. Vijay said, “I just texted RK and he knew what I was going to ask even before I asked him. I had told Sandeep that I wanted RK’s voice in the film’s Hindi teaser and he had informed RK about it. Even before I asked RK, he said, ‘Of course I am doing your teaser man.’ I was like, ‘I didn’t even ask yet. Let me tell you what is it.’ Even before I asked him he said yes.”

Kingdom AKA Saamrajya’s buzz is further amplified by a unique AI-designed video, praised in industry circles for its innovative approach. The background score is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, with cinematography by Girish Gangadharan and Jomon T. John.

The film also stars Satyadev and Bhagyashri Borse. Saamrajya will be released in Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil. With its high-octane action and strong emotional core, the film is poised to be one of the major Indian releases of 2025.
