Nayanthara celebrates her 41st birthday on November 18, 2025, and to mark this occasion, the NBK111 team officially announced her character with a video glimpse.

The video glimpse presents the actress in a regal look, embodying the grace and elegance of a queen befitting the film's landscape. The glimpse was shared by director Gopichandh Malineni via his social media handle.

Over the years, Nayanthara has previously appeared alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna in three movies.

First, they shared the screen in the 2010 film Simha, directed by Boyapati Srinu, in which the actor played dual roles.

Later, in 2011, both actors appeared together in Sri Rama Rajyam, a devotional film in which NBK portrayed Lord Rama, while Maya played Goddess Sita.

After their 2018 film Jai Simha, the upcoming NBK111 marks the actors' fourth collaboration.

Nayanthara is next expected to hit the big screens with Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu, co-starring Chiranjeevi and directed by Anil Ravipudi. The upcoming comedy-drama is slated for release during Sankranti 2026.

Nandamuri Balakrishna is set to appear in Akhanda 2: Thandavam, the sequel to the 2021 blockbuster Akhanda. The action fantasy drama is scheduled for release on December 5, 2025.

Apart from NBK, the film features Samyuktha, Aadhi Pinisetty, Harshaali Malhotra, and others in key roles.
