Nandamuri Balakrishna is gearing up to commence work on his next film, tentatively titled NBK111, which will be directed by Gopichand Malineni.

As the team finalizes casting for crucial roles, the latest buzz suggests that Manchu Manoj will be joining the project in a significant role. While there is no official confirmation yet, sources indicate that Manoj’s character will be pivotal to the storyline.

Interestingly, Balakrishna had earlier made a special appearance in Manoj’s 2012 film “Uu Kodathara? Ulikki Padathara?” Now, years later, the roles seem to have reversed, with Manoj stepping into an important part in Balakrishna’s film.

In recent times, Manoj has been experimenting with negative and special roles. He impressed audiences with his performance in “Bhairavam” and reportedly found success with a negative role in “Mirayi.”

If confirmed, NBK111 will mark an exciting on-screen collaboration between the two actors once again.
