Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming film Kingdom stands to be a landmark in his career for innumerable reasons:
Complex Double-sided Role: Vijay plays Constable Surya “Suri” on an undercover mission, who must weigh his loyalty towards the law against his stronger bonds of family. The situation forces Vijay to bring forth a more nuanced performance, genuinely testing his skills to rise above as a very versatile actor.
His First Big Spy Thriller: Though Vijay has acted in varied genres, Kingdom is his official entry into large-scale spy action thrillers. This switch in the genre shall therefore add different hues to his filmography while putting forth another facet of his acting ability, that is, carrying intense, action-heavy stuff on his shoulders.
Personal/Family Conflict at the Core: The story revolves around Suri secretly going against his elder brother Siva (Satyadev). With this emotional confrontation as its core, the film promises to provide some of Vijay Deverakonda’s most powerful and memorable moments to date.
Collaboration with Anirudh Ravichander: This pairing has created considerable buzz over the background score, and Vijay has openly admired how Anirudh’s work heightens the emotion of the film..
