Putting an end to weeks of speculation, sources close to Kajal Aggarwal have confirmed that the actress has signed on as the female lead opposite Nandamuri Balakrishna in his 111th film, directed by Gopichand Malineni.
“Yes, Kajal has officially come on board. Her role will be quite challenging and substantial,” reveals a source, adding that she will be seen in a strong, well-defined character that justifies her presence in the film. “She is thrilled to collaborate with Balakrishna once again.”
The duo previously shared screen space in Bhagavanth Kesari, which was a major success and earned recognition for its theme. While Kajal had a special role in that film, this time she will be seen as the primary female lead, bringing freshness to the action-adventure entertainer. The film has already gone on floors.
When asked about reports of Kajal replacing Nayanthara, the source chose not to comment, stating, “We are not aware of that.” However, they expressed happiness about Kajal’s return to Telugu cinema. “This marks a perfect comeback for her after a brief break. She is also in discussions for a couple of other projects.”
Once considered the uncrowned queen of Tollywood, Kajal Aggarwal has delivered several memorable hits alongside top stars—Prabhas in Darling, Ram Charan in Magadheera, Allu Arjun in Arya 2, and Jr NTR in Brindavanam. She also played a pivotal role opposite Chiranjeevi in ‘Khadi No 150’ and matched dance steps with him. .
After experimenting with a female-centric film like Satyabhama, Kajal now seems keen on striking a balance between solo-led projects and big-ticket commercial entertainers. “She wants to reconnect strongly with the Telugu audience and explore diverse roles,” the source concludes.
