Vijay Deverakonda's action drama Kingdom is set to stream on Netflix this week, after a disappointing theatrical result. The film's digital rights have been bagged by Netflix, and it will arrive on the popular OTT platform on August 28 or 29 in all languages. This makes its theatrical-OTT window a four week one, which is relatively short.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom features Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role, along with Satyadev, Bhagyashree Borse, Venkitsh, and others in crucial roles. Anirudh Ravichander scores music for the film which has been well-received by audiences. The film's storyline follows a king's rise to power, with twists and turns that keep viewers engaged.
There have been rumours about an extended version of the film, which might include a song and a fight sequence that were omitted from the theatrical version. Producer Naga Vamsi revealed that these scenes might be included in the OTT release, but no further details have been provided. Fans are eagerly awaiting an announcement regarding the digital release, which might shed more light on the extended version.
The film's release journey was marked by several changes, with the initial release date being postponed multiple times. Originally slated for March 28, it was postponed to May 30 and then July 4 before finally released in theatres on July 31. Despite the disappointing theatrical result, the film's OTT release might give it a second chance at success. With its action-packed storyline and engaging performances, Kingdom might turn the tables after its OTT release.
