Nandamuri Balakrishna and director Gopichandh Malineni are set to join hands for a film tentatively titled NBK111. Earlier, it was announced that Nayanthara would play the lead role alongside the Daaku Maharaj actor, but it now seems that the plans may change.
Kajal Aggarwal to replace Nayanthara in Nandamuri Balakrishna's NBK111?
According to a report by Gulte, Kajal Aggarwal is being considered to replace Nayanthara in the upcoming Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer NBK111. Reportedly, Nayanthara's dates do not align with the schedule, and there are also rumors of issues in remuneration discussions.

On the other hand, Nandamuri Balakrishna was last seen in Akhanda 2: Thaandavam, directed by Boyapati Sreenu. The fantasy supernatural film is a sequel to Akhanda (2021).
