Rs 50,000 cr scam, riots and a baby: Nagarjuna’s King 100 glimpse blends action with emotion

According to the release, Nagarjuna's upcoming film "King 100" takes viewers on a journey through the extremes of wealth and poverty, beginning with a voiceover that describes a man's transformation from a man with nothing to a wealthy "King." The 80-second glimpse, released on his 67th birthday, showcases a world of luxury, including exotic cars, gold bars, and elite horse races.

However, the tone quickly shifts as the narrative introduces riots, government opposition, and the threat of a Rs 50,000 crore scam. Amidst the chaos, the film culminates with a poignant scene of the main character saving a baby during a house fire, hinting at a father-daughter relationship. Nagarjuna and Tabu, who haven't acted together in 28 years, star in the film which is being directed by Ra Karthik and produced by Annapurna Studios and Manam Enterprises.

The film aims for a worldwide theatrical release on December 24, 2026, and will employ advanced de-aging technology to showcase Nagarjuna's character across different stages of his life.
