King100: Nagarjuna’s Landmark 100th Film Brings Together a Promising Team
Nagarjuna Akkineni’s landmark 100th film, King100, is emerging as one of the most awaited Telugu projects of 2026. The film has already generated considerable buzz, not only because of Nagarjuna’s milestone but also because of its intriguing ensemble cast and talented technical team. The movie is scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on December 24, 2026, arriving during the Christmas holiday season.
Who is directing King100?
King100 is written and directed by Ra Karthik, who is making his Telugu directorial debut with the project. Karthik previously directed the Tamil films Nitham Oru Vaanam and Made in Korea. The filmmaker is reportedly presenting Nagarjuna in multiple looks and age variations, adding another interesting dimension to the actor’s milestone project.
Who is the music composer?
One of the major highlights of King100 is the return of Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) as the music composer. DSP and Nagarjuna have previously collaborated on films such as Manmadhudu, Mass and King, making their reunion particularly exciting for fans. The composer was officially announced as part of the film’s technical team earlier this year.
Who is the female lead?
The film features a multi-female-lead setup. Tabu is one of the principal female leads and her reunion with Nagarjuna has become one of the biggest talking points surrounding the movie. The duo previously shared the screen in memorable films including Ninne Pelladatha and Aavida Maa Aavide. Their return together after several years has naturally raised expectations.
Sushmitha Bhat is also playing a prominent role and has described the project as a major breakthrough in her Telugu career. Aishwarya Rajesh is another important addition to the cast.
Apart from the lead cast, the film also features actors such as Ashok Selvan and Ravindra Vijay in significant roles. The technical crew includes cinematographer Raja Mahadhevan, editor Navin Nooli, and production designer Sathees Kumar N.
Produced under Annapurna Studios and Manam Enterprises, King100 carries the weight of being Nagarjuna’s 100th film while also promising a stylish commercial entertainer. The first glimpse, which teased themes involving wealth, identity, crime and emotion, has further increased curiosity around the actual story.
With Nagarjuna at the centre, Ra Karthik behind the camera, DSP handling the music and a strong female cast led by Tabu, King100 is shaping up to be a significant cinematic milestone for the Akkineni star.
