NBK111 Announced: Balakrishna & Gopichand Malineni Reunite for Historical Epic

Mass hero Nandamuri Balakrishna, fondly known as the God of Masses, is on a winning streak with back-to-back blockbusters. Just ahead of his birthday on June 10, his 111th film—NBK111—has been officially announced, generating massive excitement among fans.

Reuniting with hitmaker Gopichand Malineni, this film marks their second collaboration after the roaring success of Veera Simha Reddy. This time, the duo is set to take things to a whole new level with a grand historical epic.

Venkata Satish Kilaru, who is already producing the ambitious Pan-India film Peddi, will bankroll this high-budget venture under the Vriddhi Cinemas banner. Promising scale and spectacle, the project is already being touted as one of the most awaited films in Balakrishna’s career.

The announcement poster sets the tone for what’s to come. It features the fierce face of a lion—half covered in battle-worn metal armor, half left wild and untamed. This powerful imagery reflects the intense duality and raw energy of Balakrishna’s character in the film.

For the first time in his career, Gopichand Malineni is venturing into the realm of historical cinema. Known for delivering mass-packed commercial hits, the director is now crafting a unique, never-before-seen avatar for Balakrishna—combining history, grandeur, and adrenaline-pumping action.

The script is said to be in its final stages of pre-production, with the team promising a powerful narrative packed with emotion, valor, and cinematic scale.

While the lead actor and director have been confirmed, details about the remaining cast and technical crew will be unveiled soon.

Fans can expect an epic journey with NBK111—one that blends legacy with legend.
