Nagarjuna’s 100th Film King100: On the occasion of superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni’s 67th birthday, the makers of his landmark 100th film officially announced its title, King100, along with a high-octane first glimpse video. Produced by Annapurna Studios and directed by R. A. Karthik, the movie is set to hit cinemas worldwide on December 24, 2026, coinciding with the Christmas festival weekend.

King100 First Glimpse Out

The over one-minute-long teaser introduces Nagarjuna in a stylish, larger-than-life avatar as he takes control of a complex financial and systemic structure to rise as its ruler. The visual presentation highlights his signature charisma while setting up an action-packed commercial narrative.

Opening with a hard-hitting monologue, Nagarjuna's character reflects on power, wealth, and survival, stating, "There are two types of people in this world. Those who have money and those who don’t. When I had no money, they called me a loser. When I had money, they called me a King. But this identity is more powerful than money. To uphold this identity, I have to keep running."
