Vijay Deverakonda's Brother Anand Pens Moving Note To ‘Anna': ‘I Was Completely Emotional...'
Anand Deverakonda shared a touching reel celebrating Kingdom's brotherhood anthem and his bond with Vijay, calling him his biggest support system.
Actor Anand Deverakonda shared an emotional tribute to his elder brother Vijay Deverakonda, following the release of the latest track Anna Antene from Vijay's upcoming film Kingdom. Taking to Instagram on July 18, Anand posted a heartwarming reel that celebrates sibling love, layered with personal memories and rare family moments.
The video features a mix of childhood pictures and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the Deverakonda brothers' lives—family vacations, goofy clips from home, and candid memories that capture their tight bond. The song's lyrics, which focus on the unbreakable connection between brothers, struck a deep chord with Anand.
Sharing the reel, Anand wrote, 'I was completely emotional when I first heard this song. He's always been there for me — believing in my dreams, even when I couldn't see them myself. It made me realise how often we take our siblings for granted, expecting them to always play that role without ever saying it out loud. So, maybe this song is the perfect opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate our relationship. Anna Antene… My Anna @thedeverakonda."

Composed by Anirudh Ravichander, Anna Antene is the latest track from Kingdom and stars Vijay Deverakonda alongside Satya Dev. The song has quickly connected with fans for its emotional weight and catchy melody.
Amid the song's release, fans have also been concerned about Vijay's health. As per multiple reports, the actor has been hospitalised due to dengue. Sources close to the actor suggest that he is under observation but likely to be discharged by July 20. If all goes well, Vijay is expected to resume promotions for Kingdom later this month.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom is an upcoming Telugu-language spy action thriller also starring Bhagyashri Borse and Satya Dev. Initially scheduled for a March release, the film will now hit theatres on July 31. The film promises a blend of high-octane action, emotional storytelling, and a gripping espionage narrative.

Her debut song with the band was a modern rendition of Hil Pori Hila, originally sung by Usha Mangeshkar in 1973. The music video featured 25 underprivileged children from Mumbai's Salaam Bombay Foundation.
