Ahead of his film, Kingdom release, Tollywood star Vijay Deverakonda praised his co-star Venkitesh via X (formerly Twitter). Vijay Deverakonda is all set for the grand release of his upcoming film Kingdom, hitting theatres worldwide on 31 July. As part of the film’s promotions, Vijay is actively taking part in events, interviews, and media meets. Recently, a major promotional event was held in Tirupati, and a pre-release event is now ready in Hyderabad.
Despite his busy schedule, Vijay took time to appreciate a fellow actor on social media—a rare gesture in the film industry. He praised his co-star Venkitesh, a relatively new actor, who plays the role of Murugan in Kingdom.
Taking to platform X, Vijay introduced Venkitesh to his fans. “Even though this is only his fourth film, he delivered a fantastic performance,” Vijay wrote. “While filming scenes with him, I felt completely absorbed in his world. He has intense eyes and powerful energy, and his role as Murugan leaves a strong impact.”
Vijay’s tweet quickly caught public attention. Fans are now curious about Venkitesh’s past work and eager to know more about his film journey. This unexpected endorsement has sparked conversations online, with many predicting a bright future for the young actor.
Industry insiders believe that Venkitesh could soon become a sought-after character actor in Tollywood. With Vijay publicly praising him, offers for bigger films might already be lining up. Some reports suggest that filmmakers are already considering him for major roles.
Vijay Deverakonda, known as the “Rowdy Star,” usually doesn’t speak about his co-stars in such detail. So, his strong words for Venkitesh have raised expectations. Many believe that if Venkitesh continues to deliver performances like this, he could rise as one of the leading actors in the industry.
All eyes are now on Kingdom, and especially on Venkitesh, whose performance may turn out to be the surprise of the season.
