Vijay Deverakonda’s much-anticipated film Kingdom hit theaters on July 31, 2025, marking a critical moment in the actor’s career as he attempts to reclaim his top spot in Telugu cinema. A key point of interest among fans and industry watchers is how much Vijay earned from this high-budget spy action thriller.

According to Telugu media reports, Vijay Deverakonda took home a staggering ₹30 crore (about 3.6 million USD) as his upfront salary for Kingdom, making it one of the most lucrative deals of his career to date. Additionally, insiders suggest that Vijay opted for a profit-sharing model rather than a fixed fee alone. This means he could earn more from the film’s overall commercial success, although the exact terms have not been officially confirmed.
This hybrid payment approach reflects Vijay’s confidence in the film’s strong box office potential and is becoming increasingly common among top actors in India’s film industry.

Kingdom was produced on a lavish budget of around ₹130 crore and has already shown promising box office numbers on its opening day. Early collections suggest the film earned approximately ₹1.81 crore net in India on the first day, across all languages. When including worldwide pre-sale bookings and premieres, estimates place the first-day global earnings between ₹18 to ₹30 crore. Overseas markets, especially North America, contributed significantly with premiere sales reported to be over $850,000, signaling strong international interest.
The film’s robust opening is already considered Vijay’s biggest since Kushi and is breaking long-standing records for Telugu films in 2025. If the film sustains momentum, Vijay’s profit share from Kingdom could substantially increase, enhancing his total earning well beyond the initial ₹30 crore.
