Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom Gears Up for Musical Kickoff, Bhagyashri Borse Confirmed as Lead Actress

Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Jersey fame Gowtam Tinnanuri, is shaping up to be one of Tollywood’s most awaited summer releases. With high expectations riding on the project, the makers are all set to launch the film’s musical campaign.

The promo for the first single is slated to drop on April 30, and to build anticipation, a captivating poster was unveiled yesterday. The visual features Vijay Deverakonda and a young girl sitting on a bench at a railway station, gazing at a train as it speeds past — a scene that sparked immediate buzz online.

Curious netizens quickly took to X (formerly Twitter), tagging AI assistants like Perplexity and Grok with questions like “Who is the heroine in this movie?” and “Heroine evaru?” The suspense was short-lived, as the makers officially confirmed that the female lead is none other than Bhagyashri Borse, the rising star who recently caught attention with her performance in Mr. Bachchan.

Bhagyashri also joined the excitement, lighting up her Instagram stories with posts featuring the Kingdom song poster, marking her excitement over the reveal.

Although Mr. Bachchan didn’t fare well at the box office, Bhagyashri's striking screen presence and charm made a strong impression in Tollywood circles, earning her several new offers. All eyes are now on Kingdom — not just as a major release for Vijay Deverakonda, but also as a crucial career-defining moment for Bhagyashri Borse.

With a strong team, a director known for emotionally resonant storytelling, and a fresh pairing at its center, Kingdom is poised to make waves in more ways than one.
