NBK111 Announced: Nandamuri Balakrishna and Gopichandh Malineni Reunite for a Historical Epic

Just days before his 65th birthday on June 10, 2025, Nandamuri Balakrishna has dropped a cinematic bombshell—his much-awaited 111th film, officially titled #NBK111, is on the way. The big reveal confirms that Balayya is reuniting with director Gopichandh Malineni, following the thunderous success of their 2023 mass entertainer Veera Simha Reddy, which stormed past ₹100 crore at the box office.

This new venture, produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru under the Vriddhi Cinemas banner, promises to be a historical epic, tapping into a genre Balakrishna has previously championed with films like Gautamiputra Satakarni (2017). That film famously resurrected the legacy of the 2nd-century Satavahana king and struck a chord with audiences looking for tales rooted in Indian valor and identity.

While the team has kept details about the rest of the cast and crew under wraps, the announcement alone has sent fans into celebration mode. The timing is pitch-perfect: riding high on his 2025 Padma Bhushan win and his ongoing political influence in Andhra Pradesh, Balakrishna is clearly positioning this film as more than just a movie—it's a moment.

The stakes are high, the expectations even higher. And if Veera Simha Reddy was any indicator, NBK111 is gearing up to be an adrenaline-charged blend of history, heroism, and high drama—a film that could once again prove that when Balakrishna steps into historical armor, box offices quake and fans roar.
