The much-anticipated movie Kingdom has not yet been formally postponed, but sources indicate that various post-production work is still due, prompting the delay. According to reports, the team is now exploring a new release timeframe, perhaps toward the end of July or in the first week of August. With this anticipated postponement, a few other films are eyeing the vacated premiere date.
Major films, including Hari Hara Veera Mallu, Ghaati, and Thammudu, are now competing for a July release. Interestingly, all three films have previously sold digital streaming rights to Amazon Prime Video. As a result, Prime Video now has a significant influence in scheduling premieres, taking into consideration available dates and release plans.
To finalize the dates, the production teams are expected to meet with representatives from Prime Video soon. The outcome of this meeting will help determine the release dates, and official announcements are anticipated shortly after.
With the shift in the release calendar, July is shaping up to be an interesting month for Telugu cinema, offering a mix of historical action, intense drama, and commercial entertainers, all set to stream exclusively on Prime Video.
