It is said that Vijay Deverakonda has been admitted to the hospital. According to a recent Instagram post from the account “Entertainment AF,” the Telugu star was hospitalized for dengue. According to the portal’s quoted sources, Vijay is probably going to be released by this month’s 20th.
Although further information is still pending, it should be mentioned that as of right now, neither Vijay Deverakonda nor his team have released a statement verifying or refuting his hospitalization report.
It should be mentioned that Vijay Deverakonda is preparing for the release of his upcoming film, Kingdom, at the same time that the news broke that he had been diagnosed with dengue. On July 31, the Telugu-language spy action thriller, which was directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri, will be released in theaters.
Kingdom, which is supported by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya and is distributed by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, stars Vijay Deverakonda alongside Bhagyashri Borse and Satyadev. Kingdom, billed as a high-octane commercial entertainer, was supposed to open on March 30 but was postponed because of production issues.
Kingdom may not be released for Hindi viewers, according to reports. The makers of the Hindi version did not declare a release date, according to 123 Telugu. This has led to rumors that the crew may be aiming to release straight on Netflix instead of going through theaters in Hindi.
Initially, Netflix and the creators had a different agreement. But after several delays, the streaming service apparently pushed the producers to get the movie into theaters as soon as possible. It wouldn’t be profitable to release the Hindi version without the support of large multiplex chains, and the requirement that there be a minimum of eight weeks between a theatrical release and its OTT debut would make it more difficult. The team reportedly chose to forego a theatrical release for the Hindi version in favor of a straight over-the-top (OTT) release in order to circumvent these difficulties, according to the article. We have yet to receive an official explanation from the team.
