NBK111 Launched: Nandamuri Balakrishna Nayanthara’s Maha Raju Begins!

Following the massive success of Veerasimha Reddy, the second collaboration between Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Gopichand Malineni was officially announced in Hyderabad on Wednesday.

The new project, titled NBK111, features Nayanthara as the female lead and is being produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the banner of Vriddhi Cinemas, which previously worked on a film with Ram Charan.

The film’s shooting began at Ramanaidu Studios in Hyderabad with a traditional pooja ceremony. Legendary director B. Gopal clapped for the inaugural shot, while Balakrishna’s daughter, Tejaswi, switched on the camera. The first scene was directed by Boyapati Srinu, Bobby, and Buchi Babu. The regular filming schedule is set to begin in December. The movie is being made on what is reported to be the largest budget of Balakrishna’s career.

Event photos were shared on social media, and specially designed posters highlighting Balayya’s powerful persona have been released, promising fans an adrenaline-packed experience. The film’s title, ‘Maha Raju’, is creating anticipation, with expectations already running high among audiences.
