This December, the box office is set for a major clash between two of Indian cinema’s biggest stars, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Shah Rukh Khan . The makers of Nagarjuna’s landmark 100th film have finally unveiled its title and release date, along with a powerful first glimpse that hints at a compelling rags-to-riches story. The announcement has already sent fans into a frenzy.
The first glimpse video also confirms December 24, 2026 as the release date of the film. Helmed by Siddharth Anand, the film will mark Shah Rukh’s return to screen after 2 years. On the occasion of Nagarjuna Akkineni’s birthday, Annapurna Studios unveiled the much-awaited first glimpse of his landmark 100th film, officially titled King100. The glimpse makes one thing clear, the King is back to reign. Spanning over a minute and a half, the video introduces Nagarjuna in a stylish, larger-than-life avatar, hinting at a character whose journey from having nothing to becoming one of the most powerful men is at the heart of the story. However, the glimpse suggests that there is much more to Nagarjuna’s character than his wealth and stature. The video also showcases Nagarjuna in a series of stylish and charismatic avatars, further living up to the film’s title. This means Nagarjuna’s film will be clashing with Shah Rukh Khan’s King. The film also stars Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone and Abhishek Bachchan in lead roles. King100 is written and directed by R.A. Karthik and produced by Annapurna Studios. The film features music by Devi Sri Prasad , cinematography by Raja Mahadhevan, production design by Sathees Kumar N, and editing by Navin Nooli.
He appears to be labelled a ‘conman’ and is seemingly accused of pulling off the “biggest scam” in the country.
