Makers of Vijay Deverakonda's 'Kingdom' drop promo for first single 'Hridayam Lopala'
Chennai: The makers of director Gowtam Tinnanuri's explosive entertainer, 'Kingdom', featuring actor Vijay Deverakonda in the lead, on Wednesday dropped a promo for the first single from the film titled 'Hridayam Lopala', which is scheduled to be released on Friday.
Producer Naga Vamsi, who shared the link to the promo on his timeline on X, wrote, "They fake love to survive, but soon, it feels all too real. #HridayamLopala Promo out now. An @AnirudhOfficial Vibe. Full song out on May 2nd. #Kingdom."
Actor Vijay Deverakonda, for his part, tweeted, "In the shadows of betrayal, In the pretence of a bond, there is tense attraction. From the world of #KingdomAn @anirudhofficial song that will become a non stop replayed favourite. #HridayamLopala "
The song that has been picturised on Vijay Deverakonda and Bhagyashri Borse appears to be a sensuous romantic number.
It may be recalled that the makers have already announced that the dubbing for the first half of the film has been completed.
Sithara Entertainments, the production house producing the film, a fortnight ago had taken to social media platform X to make the announcement.
It said, '#Kingdom dubbing is progressing at a rapid pace with the first half completed. The duo (referring to Vijay Deverakonda and director Gowtam Tinnanuri) is all geared up to deliver a theatrical feast on the big screens this May 30th.'
The film has generated a lot of buzz ever since the makers released a gripping teaser.
In the teaser, Vijay Deverakonda comes across as a character that resembles an unstoppable force—blazing with intensity and destined for greatness.
The film, which was initially being referred to as VD12, has the tagline, 'From the shadows of betrayal, shall rise a king.'
The teaser gives one the idea that the story of the film will revolve around the struggle of a section of people. Vijay Deverakonda, for his part, sports a six-pack and a really rugged look that is complete with cropped hair and a beard. The teaser also has a shot of the actor in what appears to be a prison.
Written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, the film has music by Anirudh Ravichander and editing by Navin Nooli. It is being produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune 4 Cinemas Banners respectively. The film is to be presented by Srikara Studios. Well known costume designer Neeraja Kona will be in-charge of the costumes for this film, which will have its songs choreographed by Vijay Binni.
The film, which is full of action sequences, has three stunt choreographers -- Yannick Ben, Chethan D'Souza, Real Satish –working on it.

This superstar's flop son lost Rs 100 crore in one film, called off his wedding at 22, married a woman nine years older than him at 31; his name is...
On Friday, in a small ceremony in Hyderabad, popular actor Akhil Akkineni, son of Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni, finally married the love of his life, Zainab Ravdjee. With a star-studded guest list that included some of the biggest names in the South film business, the Akkineni family threw a sumptuous celebration after the ceremony to honour the newlyweds. With immense joy, Amala and I are delighted to share that our dear son has married his beloved Zainab in a beautiful ceremony (3:35 am) at our home, where our hearts belong. We watched a dream come true surrounded by love, laughter, and those dearest to us. We seek your blessings… — Nagarjuna Akkineni (@iamnagarjuna) June 6, 2025 But today, we won't be talking about his marriage or love stories, but his films. We will be talking about a Pan-India superstar's son who has struggled to make an impact despite an 11-year film career. With only 7 films under his belt, most of which have flopped or performed below average, except for his debut. One of his films reportedly sank a whopping Rs 100 crore investment. Yes, you read it right! Akhil Akkineni has had a mixed bag in his personal and professional life. According to reports, Akhil's high-profile engagement to Shriya Bhupal, a business tycoon's granddaughter, was called off in 2017 after just a year. The couple, who had planned a grand wedding with over 700 guests, reportedly had a public spat in Hyderabad that made headlines. Despite the lavish engagement ceremony, the reasons behind their breakup remain unclear. Akhil Akkineni's father Nagarjuna has been working in cinema for decades, be it in Bollywood or the South cinema. His mother, Amala, has also been a pan India actress. Both of his parents have made a mark for themselves in the cinema world. But it seems Akhil has always got a bag of mixed reviews for his films. Talking about Akhil's last film 'Agent', which came out two years ago, was made on a budget of Rs 100 crore. After the film was released on pan pan-India level, this film could barely earn around Rs 10 crore at the box office. Not only on the big screen, Akhil's Agent had to struggle to release on OTT as well. On the professional front, Akhil will soon be seen in Lenin. It is a Telugu film directed by Murali Kishore Abburu and starring Akhil Akkineni and Sreeleela. Naga Vamsi, under Sithara Entertainments, and Nagarjuna, under Annapurna Studios, are producing the movie. The movie takes place against the backdrop of rural Rayalaseema. The title glimpse was released to celebrate Akhil Akkineni's birthday. Who is Zainab Ravdjee? For those of you who don't know, Zainab is the daughter of Zulfi Ravdjee, a businessman from Hyderabad who works in the construction industry. She is a Mumbai-born artist and an entrepreneur. According to several media reports, it is said that Akhil and Zainab dated before their engagement last year, although they kept their relationship secret.
