Telugu actor Vijay Deverakonda's film Kingdom, which was released in July 2025, failed at the box office and underperformed, earning only Rs 85 crore. Amid the film's failure, producer Naga Vamsi has confirmed that the second part of Kingdom has now been shelved. However, he refused to discuss the reasons behind the film's lukewarm box office performance.

In an interview with Idlebrain, Vamsi was asked about the sequel to Kingdom, and he replied, “No, we are not making it anymore." When asked if the film could have worked better as a standalone project rather than leading up to a sequel, he replied, "There is no point in talking about what happened because it’ll only hurt Gowtam. There’s nothing more to do now."
Further, when asked if he would collaborate with Gowtam Tinnanuri in the future, Vamsi confirmed that he would work with the director again soon. He also remarked that Gowtam is currently working on a 'different kind of film.'
