Vijay Deverakonda Hospitalised Due To Dengue Ahead Of Kingdom Release: Report
Kingdom stars Vijay Deverakonda alongside Bhagyashri Borse and Satyadev, and is backed by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya.
Vijay Deverakonda has reportedly been hospitalised. If a recent post by an Instagram handle named 'Entertainment AF' is to be believed, the Telugu actor has been admitted to a hospital due to dengue. Sources cited by the portal claim that Vijay is likely to be discharged by the 20th of this month.
While more details are awaited, it should be noted that neither Vijay Deverakonda nor his team has issued any statement confirming or denying his hospitalisation report as of now.
It should also be noted that the report of Vijay Deverakonda's being diagnosed with dengue comes at a time when the actor is gearing up for the release of his next movie, Kingdom. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the Telugu-language spy action thriller will hit the theatres on July 31.
Kingdom stars Vijay Deverakonda alongside Bhagyashri Borse and Satyadev, and is backed by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under the banners of Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas. Touted to be a high-octane commercial entertainer, Kingdom was originally set to release on March 30 but was delayed due to production-related hurdles.
Reportedly, Kingdom might not release for the Hindi audiences. According to 123 Telugu, the makers did not make a release date announcement for the Hindi version. This has sparked speculation that the team has skipped a theatrical release for Hindi and may be planning to release directly on Netflix.
'Netflix had originally signed a different deal with the makers. However, due to multiple delays, the streaming platform reportedly urged the team to release the film in theatres as soon as possible. Releasing the Hindi version without backing from major multiplex chains wouldn't be profitable, and the rule that requires at least eight weeks between a theatrical release and its OTT debut would further complicate things. To avoid these challenges, the team is said to have decided to skip a theatrical release for the Hindi version and opt for a direct OTT release instead," the report mentioned. An official clarification from the team is still awaited.
Besides this, there have been several rumours and claims that Vijay Deverakonda has replaced Vikrant Massey as the main villain in Farhan Akhtar's action thriller Don 3. According to paparazzo Sneh Kumar Zala, Vijay Deverakonda will face off against Ranveer Singh in Don 3, not Vikrant. However, there is no official confirmation to this as of now.

Shedeur Sanders proves he's more than Deion's son after brutal ESPY insult by Shane Gillis
After Shane Gillis mocks him at ESPYs, Shedeur Sanders' response leaves no room for doubts (Getty Images) Following an awkward jab thrown by comedian Shane Gillis during the 2025 ESPY Awards, Shedeur Sanders didn't clap back with words. Instead, he let his grind do the talking. Within 24 hours of the nationally televised dig, the Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback dropped a jaw-dropping training montage on Instagram—no rants, no tweets, just pure focus and fire. Shedeur Sanders silences ESPY insults with grit, grind, and a visual masterstroke Shane Gillis, known for toeing the line with edgy humor, poked fun at Sanders' college career during a live segment, implying his jersey retirement was a result of nepotism. 'Shedeur Sanders had his jersey number retired at Colorado this year,' Gillis said, pausing before the punchline. 'People are saying it's because of nepotism... It's not. He went 13-12 over his career & he almost won the Alamo Bowl. Definitely not nepotism?' — GarrettWSavage (@GarrettWSavage) While the crowd, including stars like Lamar Jackson, offered nervous chuckles, many recognized the undertone for what it was—a cheap shot. But Sanders didn't bite. Instead, he dropped a cinematic clip showcasing intense workouts, laser-sharp throws, and a burning desire to improve. His voice played over the footage: 'No excuses, puttin' in the work. Do what I gotta do. 'Bout to be time to be legendary. Whenever that time is. ' The message was clear: he had moved past the noise and was dialed into the mission. Gillis missed the full story—and the numbers prove it Reducing Shedeur Sanders' legacy to a 13-12 record shows a stunning lack of context. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He threw for 4,134 yards and 37 touchdowns in his final college season—leading the Big 12 in both. Awards followed, including the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, a recognition reserved for the top senior quarterback nationwide. Critics love easy targets, but the facts point elsewhere. Colorado had a 1–11 record before Shedeur, Deion, and Travis Hunter arrived. With Sanders under center, they not only made the Alamo Bowl but also returned to national relevance—only their third bowl appearance since 2007. His jersey retirement wasn't a handout; it was a symbol of revival. And now, with the Browns, Shedeur enters a competitive QB room featuring Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and Dillon Gabriel. There's no Deion Sanders in Cleveland to 'pad' his reputation. If he earns the starting role—and signs point to that being a real possibility—Gillis might find it harder to turn that into a joke. Sanders' path has been paved by numbers, leadership, and some real hard-work—not nepotism. His response to ridicule? A quiet, roaring reminder that greatness is earned when no one's watching.

He hit his head at birth and made a dent; inside Brianna Ruffalo's husband Josh Lucas' bizarre full name
Josh Lucas Marries Meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo at the Vatican. (Image: Instagram/Joshua Lucas) Hollywood actor Josh Lucas, best known for Sweet Home Alabama, Yellowstone, and A Beautiful Mind, tied the knot with ABC7 meteorologist Brianna Ruffalo in a dreamy ceremony held inside the Vatican. The couple, who got engaged in June 2024, shared stunning black-and-white photos from their intimate wedding on July 18 via 54, called it 'easily one of the greatest days of my life,' as he and Ruffalo embraced Catholic tradition at one of the most sacred places on Earth. Ruffalo wore a delicate lace-detailed white gown, while Lucas donned a classic black suit Also Read: What happened to Saudi Arabia's 'Sleeping Prince'? Inside the London car crash that left him in a 20-year coma before his death But beyond the romantic images and heartfelt captions lies a lesser-known detail about the groom, his unforgettable full name. While fans know him as Josh Lucas, his full name is Joshua Lucas Easy Dent Maurer, and yes, "Easy Dent" is part of his legal middle name. The reason? It's tied to a rather comical (and slightly painful) story from the day he was born. As Lucas once shared with the Los Angeles Times in 2006, his birth was so fast and smooth that his parents added 'Easy' to his name. But during delivery, the doctor reportedly accidentally knocked the newborn's head against a bedpost, leaving a small dent, hence the second part: 'Dent.' The name stuck, and his parents, who led a nontraditional, countercultural lifestyle, chose to make it Lucas began his acting journey at 19 after moving to Hollywood. He appeared in popular TV shows like True Colors, Parker Lewis Can't Lose, and Life Goes On, before landing roles in films such as Alive and Father Hood. His career gained momentum with performances in A Beautiful Mind, Glory Road, and Poseidon. Lucas also took on international projects, including a notable role in Australia's Snowy River: The McGregor Saga. According to The Richest, Lucas has amassed a net worth of $16 million through decades in film and television. Beyond acting, he co-founded Filthy Food with friends Marc and Danielle Singer, showing interest in ventures outside Hollywood.
