Hyderabad, July 28, 2025 — The highly anticipated Telugu film Kingdom is generating major buzz ahead of its theatrical release on July 31, 2025. At the star-studded pre-release event held in Hyderabad, music sensation Anirudh Ravichander stirred excitement by calling Kingdom a “milestone film” in both his and Vijay Deverakonda’s careers.
Anirudh’s Emotional Message for Vijay Deverakonda
Addressing the fans and media at the event, Anirudh recounted a heartfelt message from Vijay just days before the release. Rather than checking in on the music or promotional work, Vijay asked Anirudh whether he was sleeping well and taking care of himself.
“That message showed Vijay’s heart,” Anirudh said, drawing loud applause from the crowd. “Most heroes are focused on the film delivery, but Vijay showed concern for my health. That’s the kind of human being he is.”
This personal moment highlighted the strong camaraderie between the actor and composer, further deepening fans’ anticipation.
Kingdom: A Turning Point in Careers
Anirudh, known for his blockbuster tracks across multiple languages, was full of praise for the film after an early screening. He confidently stated:
“I watched the film, and I can tell you, this will be a milestone in Vijay’s career, and a very special film for all of us involved.”
His endorsement has only heightened the expectations from the film, especially considering Anirudh’s selective praise in past promotions.
“Bakkodu” Wins the Crowd with Telugu Speech
In a delightful surprise for fans, Anirudh concluded his speech in fluent Telugu, earning cheers and trending moments on social media:
“Naa Telugu family… meeru naavaalu aipoyaarru. Nenu mee Anirudh, also known as Bakkodu.”
This affectionate use of the word Bakkodu (meaning ‘thin guy’) — a nickname fondly given to him by Telugu fans — quickly went viral online, reinforcing his connection with Telugu cinema lovers.
