According to a report by 123 Telugu, Nagarjuna Akkineni’s 100th film is likely to feature Tabu as the main co-lead. Reportedly, she will portray a significant role in the film, and it will be vital to the narrative.
While an official confirmation regarding the casting is pending, this would mark the actors’ reunion on screen after 27 years.
Social media has been buzzing about the Shiva actor’s next project, with speculation suggesting that the movie might be titled Lottery King. The upcoming project is set to be helmed by Tamil director Ra Karthik, who previously helmed the Ashok Selvan-starrer Nitham Oru Vaanam.
As more details about the film are yet to be revealed, it is said that the project will be a family action drama. The actor himself confirmed that the film would be mounted on a grand scale.
Nagarjuna and Tabu’s previous films
Nagarjuna Akkineni and Tabu initially appeared on screen together in the 1995 movie Sisindri, where she made a cameo appearance. The comedy flick was produced by Nagarjuna and directed by Siva Nageswara Rao.
The film was inspired by the plot of the American flick Baby's Day Out and marked the debut of Akhil Akkineni, who played the role of the baby.
In 1996, the actor appeared together in the romantic family drama Ninne Pelladata, written and directed by Krishna Vamsi. The film was a massive hit and went on to receive several accolades at the time.
Finally, the actors last appeared together in Aavida Maa Aavide, a comedy film that also featured Heera Rajgopal as a co-star. Despite a strong opening, the movie became an average performer at the box office.
