Akkineni Nagarjuna’s landmark 100th film, tentatively referred to as King 100, is generating significant buzz with every new update. The latest industry speculation suggests that veteran actress Tabu is set to reunite with Nagarjuna on screen after nearly 28 years, adding to the excitement surrounding the prestigious project.

However, unlike their previous collaborations, Tabu is reportedly not playing the female lead. According to industry buzz, she has been cast in a powerful character with negative shades, marking a complete departure from the romantic roles the duo shared in films like Ninne Pelladata and Aavida Maa Aavide. If the reports are true, audiences will get to see Tabu locking horns with Nagarjuna in what could be one of the film’s biggest highlights.

The film is being directed by Ra Karthik and produced by Nagarjuna under the Annapurna Studios banner. Reports suggest the story revolves around a self-made man who rises from poverty to become a successful businessman, with the emotional bond between a father and daughter forming the heart of the narrative. Actress Sushmita Bhatt is also said to be playing a key role, while the shoot is progressing quietly.

Speaking at the pre-release event of Akhil Akkineni’s upcoming film LENIN, Nagarjuna assured fans that official updates on his 100th film would begin after July 10. His statement has heightened anticipation, with fans expecting the makers to reveal key details about the cast, story, and other aspects of the project in the coming weeks.

While the reports about Tabu’s role remain unconfirmed, the possibility of seeing the iconic pair reunite after nearly three decades—this time as rivals instead of lovers—has already become one of the hottest topics in Tollywood. If the speculation turns out to be true, King 100 could emerge as one of the most eagerly awaited Telugu films in recent times.
