It’s well-known that success has been playing hide-and-seek with Vijay Deverakonda for the past few days. Setting aside his special appearances, “Taxiwaala” was Deverakonda’s last hit movie. This means it’s been seven years since success graced Vijay. Films like “Dear Comrade,” “World Famous Lover,” “Liger,” “Kushi,” and “Family Star” all ended in disappointment.
In this context, “Kingdom,” which is set to release tomorrow, can truly be called a trial by fire for Vijay. This film, coming from Sithara Entertainments with the director of “Jersey,” has very good expectations. We’ll find out in a few more hours to what extent this film lives up to these expectations.
