Chennai: The team behind director Gowtam Tinnanuri’s explosive entertainer Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda, dropped a promo on Wednesday for the film’s first single, ‘Hridayam Lopala’, set to release on Friday.

Producer Naga Vamsi shared the promo link on his X timeline, writing,

"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."

Vijay Deverakonda also gave fans a glimpse into the vibe of the song by tweeting,

"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 track, featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Bhagyashri Borse, seems to be a sensuous romantic number.

Progress on Kingdom

It’s worth noting that the team has already completed dubbing for the film’s first half.

Sithara Entertainments, the production house backing the project, had earlier announced on X,

"#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."

Ever since the gripping teaser dropped, Kingdom has been creating a serious buzz.

In it, Vijay Deverakonda is seen portraying a character that looks like an unstoppable force—intense and destined for greatness.

Originally referred to as VD12, the film comes with the tagline: 'From the shadows of betrayal, shall rise a king.'

The teaser hints at a story centred around the struggles of a section of people, with Deverakonda flaunting a rugged, six-pack look, complete with cropped hair, a beard, and even a glimpse of him behind bars.

The team behind ‘Kingdom’

Written and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom features music by Anirudh Ravichander and editing by Navin Nooli.

The film is produced by Naga Vamsi S and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune 4 Cinemas, and will be presented by Srikara Studios.

Costume designer Neeraja Kona is handling the styling, while Vijay Binni takes charge of choreography.

With action sequences at the heart of it, the film also boasts three stunt choreographers: Yannick Ben, Chethan D’Souza, and Real Satish.
