Just a few weeks prior to the highly anticipated release of the Kingdom, Telugu star Vijay Deverakonda is reportedly hospitalized. After being diagnosed with dengue fever. With the film scheduled to release in theaters on July 31, 2025. Fans are now worried about both the actor’s health and the fate of the promotional campaign of the film. Vijay Deverakonda Hospitalised With Dengue.
Health Scare Just Ahead of Release
As per numerous reports, a couple of days back, Vijay was officially admitted to a medical institution with symptoms of dengue. The reports further suggest that he would be put under observation and treated. In which case the discharge could happen as early as July 20. His condition is reportedly stable and improving, which makes the timing unabatedly crucial.
What’s at Stake for Kingdom
Kingdom is a high-budget spy-action thriller directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri (of Jersey fame). It features Vijay along with Bhagyashri Borse and Satyadev. The movie, which has encountered a lot of issues, has been forced to change its release date several times. From March 30 to July 4, and now potentially July 31. With a huge budget apparently of ₹100 crores riding on it, the stakes are quite high for both the actor and the production house.
Promotional Absences Raise Eyebrows
Vijay’s absence from recent promotional events had already given rise to speculation amongst fans. Now confirmed to be in the hospital, his reason for keeping a low profile finally comes out. While the film’s team continues with their promotional push, Vijay’s absence indeed may dampen the visibility of the film during a crucial time, just before its release.
