'Kingdom', his much-hyped action drama directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, is already making massive waves even before its official release. Fans, popularly known as the "VD Army", have shown up in huge numbers. In just 24 hours, over 1 lakh tickets were snapped up across ticketing platforms, signaling a roaring comeback for the star.
