Overview
- Annapurna Studios, which unveiled the first glimpse on Saturday, August 29, 2026, announced the film’s title as King100 and set its worldwide theatrical release for December 24, 2026.
- The released glimpse features Nagarjuna delivering a monologue about money and identity and hints at a rags-to-riches arc that includes accusations of a major scam and an emotional father-child moment.
- The production confirmed key crew credits, naming R. A. Karthik as writer-director, Devi Sri Prasad as composer, Raja Mahadhevan as cinematographer, Sathees Kumar N as production designer, and Navin Nooli as editor.
- Locking the film for December 24 places King100 in direct competition with Siddharth Anand’s King starring Shah Rukh Khan, a clash that could affect box-office splits in the lucrative Christmas window.
- King100 marks Nagarjuna’s 100th film, was kept largely under wraps during a year-long shoot, and the makers say further casting details and promotional materials will follow ahead of the holiday release.
