**AP Government Approves Ticket Hike for Vijay Deverakonda’s “Kingdom”**

**Hyderabad, India – July 24, 2025** – The Andhra Pradesh government has granted special permission for a ticket price hike for the highly anticipated Vijay Deverakonda action thriller, “Kingdom.” The film, produced by Suryadevara Nagavamsi under Sithara Entertainments and directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri of “Jersey” fame, is set to release worldwide on July 31st after multiple delays.

Starring Deverakonda alongside Bhagyasri Borse as the female lead and Satyadev in a pivotal role, “Kingdom” has generated significant buzz. The government’s decision allows single-screen theaters to increase ticket prices by ₹50 and multiplexes by ₹75. This price hike will be in effect for ten days, from July 31st to August 9th.

The news comes as a welcome development for the film’s team, especially after the underperformance of Deverakonda’s previous film, “Family Star.” A pre-release event is scheduled to be held in Tirupati on July 26th. Movie-goers are eagerly anticipating the release of “Kingdom” and the potential box-office success with this new government initiative.
