Vijay Deverakonda- Gowtam Tinnanuri’s upcoming project, which was being referred to as VD 12 now has a title.

The action entertainer is titled Kingdom in Tamil and Telugu and Samarajya in Hindi.

On Wednesday, 12 February, the makers released the film’s teaser, title and release date. It is set to hit the big screens on 30 May.

The voiceover for the highly anticipated teaser was given by three different actors in their respective languages.

The Telugu voiceover was given by Jr NTR, the Tamil by Suriya, and the Hindi one by Ranbir Kapoor.

The almost two-minute teaser shows a war-torn island amid chaos and bloodshed at the start, and Vijay Deverakonda emerges as a saviour, with the voice-over stating that “the people are waiting for the new king who will emerge out of a battlefield.”

The X post read: “#VD12 is #KINGDOM. Feel the passion, the emotion and the intensity of our world- in the most raw and powerful voices of our favourite stars.”

The first look of Kingdom featured Vijay Deverakonda screaming his lungs out while looking at the sky on a rainy night. The actor sports short hair and a beard.

Larger-than-life action film

Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film is a larger-than-life action thriller. Filmmaker Trivikram’s wife Sai Soujanya is co-producing it. The film also stars Bhagyashri Borse in the lead role.

Music sensation Anirudh Ravichander is composing the songs and background score for VD12. It will feature cinematography by renowned cinematographer Girish Gangadharan, marking his Telugu debut. Navin Nooli, who won a National Film Award for Best Editing for Gowtam’s Jersey, will serve as the editor.

Vijay Deverakonda is struggling to score a hit, with his last film Family Star (2024) being a massive flop. Despite this, the Arjun Reddy (2017) actor continues to sign films. He has three projects lined up, including a period drama directed by Rahul Sankrityan, who previously directed him in the hit Taxiwaala (2018).
