Nagarjuna's Milestone 100th Film 'King100' to Showcase De-Aging Technology and Father-Daughter Drama
Tollywood veteran Nagarjuna is currently immersed in the production of his highly anticipated 100th film, tentatively titled 'King100' or rumored to be called 'Lottery King.' This upcoming project is shaping up to be a significant action drama family entertainer, marking a pivotal moment in the actor's illustrious career.
De-Aging Technology to Transform Nagarjuna into a Younger Avatar
In a recent interview with Variety India, Nagarjuna revealed that the film is a "total commercial script" and will feature him in a younger avatar, thanks to cutting-edge de-aging technology. According to reports, he is expected to portray a character ranging from 25 to 60 years old, adding a dynamic layer to his performance. This technological innovation promises to deliver a visually stunning experience for fans, showcasing the actor in a fresh light.
Focus on Father-Daughter Relationship and Tabu Reunion
The narrative of 'King100' will largely center on the emotional and complex father-daughter relationship, offering a heartfelt core to the action-packed drama. Adding to the excitement, the film reunites Nagarjuna with acclaimed actress Tabu, their first collaboration since the cult classic romance 'Ninne Pelladatha.' However, this time, their on-screen dynamic will be different; as per the Deccan Chronicle, Tabu will not be romantically paired with Nagarjuna but will instead play a distinct and crucial role in the story.
Other key casting details include:
- Sushmita Bhatt and Vijayendra are confirmed to join the ensemble cast.
- Two other actresses are slated to portray the romantic leads, though their identities remain undisclosed.
- Additional cast members are yet to be finalized, keeping fans in suspense.
Expected Release and Special Appearances
As per 123Telugu, the makers are planning a summer release around May 2026, though no official confirmation has been made. The production is currently in progress, with high expectations for a blockbuster debut. In a delightful twist, it is also suggested that Nagarjuna's sons, Naga Chaitanya and Akhil Akkineni, are likely to make special appearances, adding a familial touch to this milestone project.
Nagarjuna's Recent Success with 'Coolie'
Nagarjuna's last film appearance was in the 2025 superhit 'Coolie,' where he played the key antagonist opposite legendary actor Rajinikanth. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film boasted a star-studded lineup including Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and special appearances by Aamir Khan and Pooja Hegde, further cementing Nagarjuna's versatility and enduring appeal in the industry.
