Hyderabad, Jul 8: Vijay Deverakonda's much-awaited film Kingdom has got a new release date. Initially slated for May 30, 2025, the action-packed drama will now hit theatres on July 31. The buzz around the film soared after the actor unveiled the teaser on Tuesday, which drew a warm response from fans—and a heartwarming reaction from his rumoured partner, Rashmika Mandanna.

Sharing the teaser on her Instagram story, Rashmika wrote, “This man always... Always comes up with something mental! So proud.” Vijay Deverakonda re-shared her post and simply replied, “Rushiee.”

Fans were quick to flood the comments with curiosity and excitement about their relationship. Comments ranged from “When are you getting married to VD?” to “Marriage announcement when?” and “Rashu, you are so sweet.”

Rumours of the duo dating have swirled since January 2023, especially after their speculated Maldives vacation. Rashmika was also spotted watching Pushpa 2 with Vijay's family, adding to the speculation. Despite being frequently seen together, the stars have neither confirmed nor denied their relationship. They previously starred together in Geetha Govindam and Dear Comrade, where their chemistry was widely appreciated.

Kingdom, directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, is produced by Sai Soujanya and Naga Vamsi S under Fortune 4 Cinemas and Sithara Entertainment. The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, while Girish Gangadharan and Jomon T John handle the cinematography.

The teaser has already set high expectations, and fans are eagerly waiting for what promises to be an intense and gripping film with Vijay in a never-seen-before avatar.
