Nagarjuna’s birthday brought a special treat for fans as the first look of his much-awaited film King100 was unveiled. Kept under wraps throughout its year-long production, the film finally offered a glimpse of the actor’s larger-than-life avatar and stylish world. The makers also announced its December release date, setting up a major box-office clash with King.
Nagarjuna’s King 100 first look out
The announcement was made by Annapurna Studios, which is producing the film, on the occasion of Nagarjuna’s birthday on Saturday. The makers also dropped the much-awaited first glimpse of this landmark film on the occasion. Kept largely under wraps through its year-long production, the film has remained out of the spotlight until now. The first glimpse released on Saturday delivers a bold, powerful statement of the scale, style, and cinematic ambition of the film’s makers.
The over one-and-a-half-minute glimpse introduces Nagarjuna Akkineni in a stylish, larger-than-life avatar, offering audiences their first look at his character and the world of the film. The glimpse opens with Nagarjuna’s character sharing his perspective on the world: “There are two types of people in this world. Those who have money and those who don’t. When I had no money, they called me a loser. When I had money, they called me a King. But this identity is more powerful than money. To uphold this identity, I have to keep running.”
The dialogue strikes a hard-hitting note. It offers a sharp glimpse into his rise to power, his mindset, and the relentless drive of maintaining his identity as The King. Nagarjuna’s striking gold look further accentuates his larger-than-life persona, while the stylish visuals establish the distinctive world of King100. The energetic and impactful music by Devi Sri Prasad adds intensity to the glimpse and elevates Nagarjuna’s commanding screen presence.
King 100 release date
The glimpse concludes with the reveal of the King100 title, locking in its official December release date. The film sets the stage for a major theatrical face-off with Shah Rukh Khan’s King, as both movies are slated to release on the same day.
King100 also marks the much-awaited on-screen reunion of Nagarjuna and Tabu after 28 years. The two first shared screen space in the 1996 Telugu film Ninne Pelladatha, Aavida Maa Aavide (1998), and Sisindri (1999).
