Nagavamsi clarified, "'Kingdom' was written for Vijay Deverakonda. Gautham Tinnanuri had a different story for Ram Charan, which didn't progress. This story has no connection to Charan." While discussions with Charan happened, it was a separate project. Rumors hinted Charan declined due to the police role, similar to 'RRR', but this remains unconfirmed.
