'Kingdom' teaser sets a chilling tone
The one-minute and 56-second teaser of Kingdom opens with a bone-chilling shot of a burial ground by the shore, littered with dead bodies. As military agents are all set to open fire, Deverakonda's character makes his cinematic entry. This fascinating introduction has only added to the anticipation for the film. While little is known about Deverakonda's character, the teaser ends with his character saying, "I will do anything needed, sir, including destroying everything."
