The sequel to Vijay Deverakonda’s 2025 spy thriller Kingdom has officially been canceled, as confirmed by producer Naga Vamsi in a recent interview. This decision follows the film’s underwhelming performance at the box office, quashing any hopes for further installments in the series.
Directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, Kingdom features Deverakonda in the role of Suri, a policeman who transforms into a spy. The film, which was released in July 2025, was initially designed to pave the way for sequels. Unfortunately, despite its initial promise, it did not perform well financially.
When asked about the intentions for a sequel, Vamsi stated firmly that Kingdom 2 is not happening. “No, we are not making it anymore,” he said, explaining that discussing the previous film’s performance would not serve any purpose and might upset the director, Gowtam. He expressed a willingness to move on from this project rather than dwell on its complications.
Despite the cancellation of the sequel, Vamsi assured that he still plans to work with Gowtam on new projects. “We will collaborate with Gowtam. He is currently directing a different film,” he confirmed, hinting at exciting future endeavors beyond the Kingdom franchise.
On the other hand, Vijay Deverakonda is not slowing down. He has other films in the pipeline, including the action-packed Rowdy Janardhana, directed by Ravi Kiran Kola, which is set to release in 2026.
