Nandamuri Balakrishna’s next film, which will be released on the 24th of December this year, has been titled Dada. A short title glimpse video was released along with the title reveal. The film begins with a voiceover in Hindi introducing his character. The film also appears to be set in Mumbai, with the coast being shown as the first establishing shot. The superstar is also seen in what appears to be a cool retro look as he lights his cigar.
He’s sporting a blingy leather jacket, and he’s also wearing a pair of white sunglasses. He’s also called ‘The King of Chaos’ in this video as a small army of police officers surround him while he’s seated in the centre of what looks like a police station. What follows is a series of punchlines along with swiftly cut action shots. The background score also underlines the name Dadashabeb, possibly his name in the film. It also appears that the film could be set in the 80’s.
The film is written and directed by Gopichand Malineni, and it is produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru. Music is by Thaman S, and Arvind Kashyap is the film’s DOP. The same director directed last year’s Hindi film Jaat starring Sunny Deol. The music for that too was by Thaman. The film will co-star Kajal Aggarwal, Samuthirakani, Manchu Manoj, Sarath Kumar, Abhimanyu Singh, Upendra Limaye, Manish Wadhwa, and Swasika. Nayanthara was earlier associated with the project, but the actress's name hasn't been credited in the video.
Telugu actor Manoj Manchu recently joined the film. "Some birthdays come as blessings. And this birthday has brought me one of the most special gifts I could have asked for… And finally… it’s happening A long awaited combination with our Lion NBK Ballaya anna, under the direction of Gopichand Malineni Garu," Manchu wrote on X.
