Vijay Deverakonda's film Kingdom won't have Part 2. Yes, the second instalment has been shelved. Producer Naga Vamsi has confirmed it. Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom was released worldwide in theatres on July 31, 2025, and received mixed reviews, mostly negative. Though Deverakonda was praised for his performance, the weak script and plot led the film to be a huge disaster at the worldwide box office. Made on a reported budget of Rs 130 crore, the film earned only Rs 82.5 crore.
Kingdom 2 shelved
Vijay Deverakonda's Kingdom 2 had a cliffhanger ending, which gave us hope that the makers will come up with a sequel. However, in an interview with Idlebrain, Naga Vamsi said, "Yeah, there is no Kingdom 2." When he was asked about making Kingdom as a one-part film initially, the producer said, "There is no point in talking about it, other than hurting Gowtam."
Vamsi also confirmed that they are working on another film with Gowtam. "But yeah, we will collaborate with Gowtam. He is doing a different film now. After that we will do a film," he said.
