Tabu joins Nagarjuna’s 100th Telugu film ‘King 100’ after 30 years—shooting begins and social media erupts with excitement over this iconic reunion.
Tabu Herself Announced the Shoot
Bollywood actress Tabu posted a photo on Instagram that set off a wave of excitement. The image shows a clapperboard placed on a black chair, with the title King 100 clearly visible. Her caption read: “And we begin King100.” She tagged Nagarjuna in the hashtags and mentioned the film’s producers.
That one post was enough to send fans into a frenzy — no grand press conference needed.
Nagarjuna’s 100th Telugu Film — This One Means Something
South cinema veteran Nagarjuna is currently working on his 100th Telugu film, tentatively titled King 100. That number carries weight. It marks a rare milestone in any actor’s career, and it is why this project has been drawing attention even before the cameras rolled.
Now that Tabu’s involvement has been confirmed, the excitement among fans of both actors has gone up another notch. She is playing a significant role in the film, though the specifics of her character have not been revealed yet.
Thirty Years Apart, Together Again on Screen
The last time Tabu and Nagarjuna shared the screen was in 1996, in the Telugu romantic film Ninne Pelladata — a film that was warmly received by audiences of that era. After that, their careers took separate roads. Tabu stayed rooted in Hindi cinema while Nagarjuna remained a powerhouse in major South Indian productions.
Nearly three decades later, King 100 is bringing this pair back together. It is partly a coincidence and partly a moment — two generations of audiences will now get to see this pairing for the first time.
Tabu’s Next Big Project After ‘Bhool Bungalow’
Tabu is on a roll right now. Her horror-comedy Bhoot Bungla — made with Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan — is currently running in cinemas. The film also stars Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Wamiqa Gabbi.
The fact that she is simultaneously beginning work on King 100 says something about where she stands in the industry right now. From Hindi to South, her demand has not slowed down.
Where Nagarjuna Has Been Lately
Nagarjuna was last seen in Rajinikanth’s Tamil action film Coolie, released last year. For Hindi audiences, his most recent major appearance was in Ayan Mukerji’s Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva back in 2022.
King 100 will be a different kind of project for him — significant not just for its story, but because it marks his century in Telugu cinema.
Details Are Still Thin — But the Buzz Is Real
The rest of the cast, director, storyline, and release date remain unannounced. The makers have so far only confirmed that shooting has begun. More details are expected to surface in the coming weeks.
What is confirmed right now is that Tabu and Nagarjuna are on set together — and for fans, that is more than enough.
King 100 is more than just a film. It is a celebration of Nagarjuna’s journey through Telugu cinema, and Tabu’s inclusion makes it all the more special. The gap that opened after Ninne Pelladata in 1996 is finally closing. Audiences have been waiting — and with the shoot now underway, that wait has become a little more real.
