Actor-politician Balakrishna is regarded as one of the top actors in Tollywood. He has several blockbuster hits like Aditya 369, Legend, Simha, Narasimha Naidu, and Sri Rama Rajyam to his credit.

#NBK108 will also feature Kajal Aggarwal and Sreeleela in crucial roles.

Arjun Rampal was supposed to debut in Tollywood with Pawan Kalyan’s Hari Hara Veera Mallu. But he couldn’t take up the project due to date issues. Following this, the makers of Hari Hara Veera Mallu roped in Bobby Deol.

His film The Rapist, written and directed by Aparna Sen won the best director award at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne in 2022. It jointly won the Kim Jiseok Award at the 26^th Busan International Film Festival in 2021.
