Acclaimed filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, known for his intense storytelling style, recently opened up about the challenges of film certification and its impact on a movie’s box-office potential. All three of his previous films received an ‘A’ certificate, and he admitted that such ratings, while not affecting critical success, have caused noticeable revenue losses as per feedback from distributors.
Sandeep’s remarks came during a promotional interview for the upcoming pan-India film Kingdom, starring Vijay Deverakonda and directed by Gautham Tinnanuri. As part of the build-up to the film’s July 31 release, Sandeep joined Vijay and Gautham to discuss the censor process and how certification decisions can influence a movie’s reach, particularly among younger audiences.
Sharing his impressions after watching 45 minutes to an hour of Kingdom, Sandeep said he is confident that the film will comfortably receive a U/A certificate. While Vijay expressed some concern over the intense action sequences in the second half, wondering if they might attract an ‘A’ rating, Sandeep clarified that violence alone doesn’t determine certification.
“Kingdom is driven more by emotional depth than violence,” he explained. “Its core revolves around brotherhood, with Satyadev playing Vijay’s elder brother, and that emotional connect makes it a strong case for a U/A certificate.”
Drawing from his own career, Sandeep acknowledged that his films—despite becoming massive blockbusters—have always been classified as ‘A’, limiting younger audiences and affecting revenues.
The conversation also touched on his highly anticipated project Spirit with Rebel Star Prabhas. Sandeep revealed that shooting for Spirit will commence in September and will progress on a non-stop schedule, marking one of the most awaited collaborations in Indian cinema.
