Arjun Rampal, the acclaimed Bollywood actor known for his powerful performances, is all set to make his debut in Tollywood with Nandamuri Balakrishna‘s much-awaited film, tentatively titled NBK108. Directed by Anil Ravipudi, the film has garnered immense anticipation since its inception, and the addition of Arjun Rampal to the cast has heightened the excitement further. Arjun Rampal will essay the role of the antagonist, marking his official entry into the Telugu film industry.

The makers of NBK108 took to Twitter to announce Arjun Rampal’s inclusion in the project, sharing a video of the actor reciting one of Balakrishna’s popular dialogues. In the clip, Arjun Rampal confidently delivers the dialogue, “Flue jinka mundara oodu..simham mundara kadu,” expressing his excitement to work with Balakrishna and Anil Ravipudi and promising a high-octane performance filled with impactful dialogues.

I promise you all this is going to be one mad ride with lots of fun. Thank you for having me.” Known for his portrayal of grey characters in Hindi films such as “Don,” “Om Shanti Om,” and “Ra One,” Arjun Rampal was initially set to make his South debut in Pawan Kalyan’s film “Hari Hara Veera Mallu,” but due to unforeseen circumstances, the collaboration did not materialize, and he was subsequently replaced by Bobby Deol.

NBK108, produced under the Shine Screens banner by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi, is a highly anticipated film that brings together the powerful combination of Nandamuri Balakrishna, director Anil Ravipudi, and renowned composer S Thaman. This collaboration is expected to create history in Tollywood, generating immense excitement among fans. V Venkat serves as the action choreographer for the film. Alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna and Arjun Rampal, NBK108 features Kajal Aggarwal and Sreeleela as the female leads. The film has already released two captivating posters, and the makers have announced that NBK108 will hit theatres during the festive season of Dussehra.

With Arjun Rampal’s much-anticipated entry into Tollywood and the formidable combination of talents involved in NBK108, the film has become a topic of great anticipation and discussion among cinephiles. Fans eagerly await the release of this high-voltage entertainer, which promises a thrilling cinematic experience filled with remarkable performances and captivating music by S Thaman.
