Hyderabad, Nov 18 – The big‑budget film starring Nandamuri Balakrishna has just gained a new star. Actress Nayanthara was officially added to the cast of director Gopichand Malineni’s upcoming historical epic, known on social media as #NBK111. The news was shared on the actress’s birthday, when Malineni posted a celebratory message on X, welcoming “Queen Nayanthara” to the project and wishing her a happy birthday.
Vriddhi Cinemas, the production house behind the film, also posted a birthday greeting. The banner highlighted that Nayanthara “brings the calm of oceans and the fury of storms” to the #NBK111 story. The posters and tweets promise a “historical roar” and hint at big updates coming soon.
NBK111 was first announced this year as a pan‑India historical drama. Originally slated for an October launch, the film’s official pooja ceremony has been shifted to November. Gopichand Malineni, who earlier made a blockbuster hit with Balakrishna in Veera Simha Reddy, is now turning to a new genre while keeping his mass‑appeal style. Sources say the script is bold and high‑impact, a perfect fit for Balakrishna’s screen presence.
The team has already been scouting locations. A recent recce in Rajasthan revealed lush historic backdrops that will bring the film’s grand storyline to life. Production is moving through its final pre‑production phase, with Vriddhi Cinemas promising “spectacular visuals and larger‑than‑life storytelling.”
Balakrishna’s collaboration with Malineni marks their second major project together, after the hit Veera Simha Reddy. Producer Venkata Satish Kilaru, who is also behind the executive‑produced Pan‑India venture Peddi, is backing #NBK111, ensuring the film will be set to wow audiences nationwide.
Fans can expect the first look, trailers, and release dates soon. For now, the big word on the set is “action” and “history,” as the crew prepares to capture a monumental tale of power, passion, and heroism. Keep an eye on official social media for updates on the start of filming and the film’s big‑screen debut in November.
