Kingdom: Who is Bhagyashri Borse? Vijay Deverakonda's heroine has a strong connection with Ajay Devgn
Born in 1999 in Aurangabad, the self-confessed Shah Rukh Khan fan made her acting debut with the Hindi film Yaariyaan 2 (2023). The young lady was also seen in Chandu Champion with Kartik Aaryan, which did not do well at the box office. Thereafter, she entered Telugu cinema with Mr Bachchan (2024). The film flopped but Bhagyashri emerged as a sensation with her bold screen presence. Interestingly, Mr Bachchan had a special connection with Ajay Devgn.
Bhagyashri Borse's first Telugu movie was a remake of Raid
Bhagyashri Borse, Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom co-star, made her Tollywood debut with Mr Bachchan. The film was a remake of Ajay Devgn's Raid (2018). Mr Bachchan featured her as the leading lady opposite Ravi Teja and was released last August.
Much like Raid, it centred on an Income Tax officer who is tasked with the responsibility of conducting a raid on the mansion of a local political leader. However, unlike Devgn's version, it featured commercial elements and a full-fledged romantic sub-plot. Mr Bachchan was directed by Harish Shankar and also featured Jagapathi Babu in a key role. It failed to meet the standards set by the Bollywood hit and ended up being a disaster. Shot on a budget of Rs 70 crore, Mr Bachchan earned just Rs 7 crore in its full run (as per Pinkvilla) and also received negative reviews with critics panning the treatment.
Are you ready for Kingdom?
Coming to the present, Kingdom has the potential to be a game-changer for Bhagyashri. The spy thriller is directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame. According to reports in the Telugu media, she has a 'meaty' role in the film and it will add depth to the narrative. The plot centres on a constable (played by Vijay Deverakonda) who goes on a mission to rescue/find his brother.
Satyadev plays the Arjun Reddy star's brother in the film and something happens to him in Sri Lanka. Kingdom is produced by Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya. Anirudh Ravichander serves as the music director.
Kingdom is set to hit the screens on July 31.

Prithviraj Sukumaran's wife Supriya Menon exposes troll who has been harassing her since 2018: ‘I let it be as she has a young son'
Actor Prithviraj Sukumaran's wife, producer Supriya Menon, has been a victim of online trolls and harassment since 2018. She broke her silence on Tuesday by tagging the woman who created multiple accounts on Instagram to target her. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Supriya shared a photo of the woman targeting her. She also penned a note which read: 'Meet Christinaeldo. She has been passing nasty comments on most accounts which post something about me. She would constantly make fake accounts and post and I continued to block her.' She added, 'I found out who she is years ago but let it be as she has a young son. But even that filter she has on is not enough to hide the ugliness she holds inside and spews at me since 2018.' She even targeted Surpriya's late father. This is what ultimately prompted Supriya to expose her.

According to Times of India, Christin is a nurse and a resident of Chattanooga in America. Supriya Menon was a business journalist before being assigned to cover Malayalam cinema. Unaware of the new beat, Supriya sought the help of her friend, who handed her the number of Prithviraj Sukumaran, claiming he might be a help to her. And this changed their lives forever. In 2011, Supriya tied the knot with Prithviraj and quit journalism to become a producer in Malayalam film industry. However, despite producing several successful Malayalam films, including Prithviraj's latest L2: Empuraan, Supriya still struggles to find her individuality as she is addressed as Prithviraj Sukumar's wife. In an interview with Film Companion South, she shared, 'I achieved my professional position without anyone's recommendation. It was a job and career I earned on my own. But now, as a producer, there are many privileges. Everyone now knows me as the wife of Prithviraj, the actor who carved his own path and moved forward. But even in this, I have my struggles. Because I am now trying to make people understand that I am Supriya.' She added, 'People should see me as a separate individual. I constantly try to make people understand that they shouldn't confuse me with Prithviraj. I don't want to be known as 'his wife', 'his mother', 'his daughter'. I am preparing to create my own name. The reason I have confidence is my father. My parents didn't raise me in a cage. They gave me the courage to create my own wings and fly.'
