NBK111 Begins: Balakrishna’s Mighty Historical Epic Launched
Nandamuri Balakrishna, Gopichand Malineni, Venkata Satish Kilaru, Vriddhi Cinemas’ Historical Epic #NBK111 Launched in Grand Style
God of the Masses Nandamuri Balakrishna, riding the momentum of consecutive blockbusters, is all set to roar once again at the box office. Teaming up with mass-action specialist Gopichand Malineni, the superstar is stepping into an ambitious new realm with their latest venture, #NBK111 — a monumental historical epic poised to redefine scale and spectacle.
Backed by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the prestigious Vriddhi Cinemas banner, the production house currently in the spotlight for its massive pan-India film Peddi, this new project promises to be one of the most lavishly mounted films in Balakrishna’s career.
Adding to the excitement, the elegant Nayanthara joins as the leading lady opposite Balakrishna, marking their fourth collaboration after the hugely celebrated Simha, Jai Simha, and Sri Rama Rajyam. Their pairing once again brings high expectations and nostalgic charm.
The film was launched today with a majestic pooja ceremony in Hyderabad, attended by several prominent names from the Telugu film fraternity. Andhra Pradesh Ministers Anagani Satya Prasad and Gottipati Ravi Kumar formally handed over the script to the team. Ace director B. Gopal, who delivered many memorable blockbusters with Balakrishna, gave the inaugural clap, while Balakrishna’s daughter Tejaswini switched on the camera. The ceremonial first shot was directed collectively by Boyapati Sreenu, Bobby, and Buchi Babu, adding star power and significance to the launch event.
With the battlefield rising to salute its mightiest king, #NBK111 announces itself as a film that aims to shake the very foundations of history. Director Gopichand Malineni, widely known for his high-voltage storytelling and unparalleled mass elevation, steps into the historical genre for the first time — crafting a colossal saga designed to present Nandamuri Balakrishna in a never-before-seen avatar.
The first-look concept poster sets the tone, showcasing Balakrishna as a fierce and commanding warrior king — gripping a sword and an anchor, sporting long hair, a thick beard, and an imposing stance that radiates raw power.
Mounted on an epic scale with a majestic period backdrop, #NBK111 promises an arresting blend of emotion, ferocious action, and breathtaking visuals — a cinematic storm that aims to rewrite the standards of historical filmmaking.
