Some actors win fans through their performances on screen, but Venkitesh VP, a relatively unknown face from Malayalam cinema, managed to build a fanbase in Telugu even before his debut film released—all thanks to one electrifying speech.
Until now, Venkitesh was not a big name in the Malayalam industry, having appeared in just four or five small films. Just as he was finding his footing there, he landed a golden opportunity to play the main villain in the highly anticipated Telugu film Kingdom. Determined to make the most of it, he grabbed the chance with both hands.
Even before Kingdom hit the theatres, his performance had already impressed the team. None other than Vijay Deverakonda, the film’s lead, posted online praising Venkitesh’s acting skills. But it was during the pre-release event that Venkitesh truly made a mark. His ten-minute speech, brimming with energy and confidence, instantly won over the audience. Boldly, he requested the crowd to cheer and clap for his entry scene in the movie—a daring ask for a newcomer, but one that paid off.
When Kingdom finally released on Thursday, audiences delivered exactly what he hoped for. His entry scene was met with whistles, cheers, and thunderous applause, reminiscent of a star hero’s welcome. In several intense moments, particularly a powerful sequence in the second half, Venkitesh’s performance left viewers stunned. With expressive eyes, controlled delivery, and a strong screen presence, he stood out. Many even wished his character had more screen time and expressed hope of seeing him return if a sequel is made.
Now it’s clear why Venkitesh’s pre-release speech carried so much fire—he had something to prove, and he delivered. With this breakout role, he has opened the door to a wave of opportunities in Telugu cinema.
