Deverakonda’s latest movie Kingdom is rewriting box office records beyond the
Telugu states. In a rare and remarkable feat, the film has become the
first-ever Telugu film to gross Rs. 1 crore in Kerala, and surprisingly, this

rapidly growing popularity among Malayali audiences. What was once considered a
limited market for Telugu-language releases is now proving to be fertile
ground.
Meanwhile,
Kingdom continues its impressive global run, grossing Rs. 67 crore so far and
inching closer to the Rs. 100 crore milestone. The film is well on its way to
becoming the biggest commercial success of Vijay Deverakonda’s career.
Bhagyashri
Borse, Satya Dev, Venkatesh, Ayyappa Sharma, and others appear in key roles.
The film is jointly produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four
Cinemas, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander. After three days in
