Nandamuri Balakrishna’s NBK111 Titled ‘Dada’, Release Date Locked

God of Masses Nandamuri Balakrishna’s much-awaited 111th film, NBK111, is officially back with a major update. Directed by Gopichand Malineni, the mass entertainer has now been titled ‘Dada’, with the makers locking December 24, 2026 as its theatrical release date.

The title and release date were announced along with a high-energy glimpse that showcases Balakrishna in a rugged and powerful avatar. The actor is seen taking on a group of baddies in his trademark mass style, while the glimpse introduces him as the King of Chaos, promising an action-packed entertainer.

‘Dada’ is set for a Christmas 2026 release, giving the film the advantage of the festive season and an extended holiday weekend. However, the Balakrishna starrer will face a direct box-office clash with Nagarjuna’s ‘King100’, which is also scheduled to release on December 24, 2026.

The film features Kajal Aggarwal, Samuthirakani and others in key roles. Thaman is composing the music for the project, while Vriddhi Cinemas, owned by Venkata Satish Kilaru, is backing the big-budget production.

With the title announcement and glimpse now out, expectations are high for Balakrishna’s next mass outing. The makers are expected to begin aggressive promotions in the coming months, with more details about ‘Dada’ likely to be unveiled soon.
