NBK108: Sreeleela joins the shoot with Nandamuri Balakrishna for director Anil Ravipudi’s next

Sreeleela is truly the apple of everyone’s eye in the fraternity these days, in fact, right from the time she forayed into the industry with the K Raghavendra Rao production Pelli SandaD. She benefited the most out of the film’s surprise success, signing projects in a flurry and continued her victorious run with the 2022 release Dhamaka alongside Ravi Teja later.

She has films with many top names in the industry, from Ram Pothineni to Nithiin to Panja Vaisshnav Tej, Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, to a name a few. Much before these films, she’d said yes to director Anil Ravipudi’s next film as well, headlined by Nandamuri Balakrishna. She plays the latter’s daughter in the entertainer that also features Kajal Aggarwal in another crucial role.

The actress has finally commenced shooting for her portions in the Balakrishna starrer, tentatively titled #NBK108, in Hyderabad today. Several key sequences featuring the pivotal cast will be wrapped up in this schedule. In a still from the location, Sreeleela is all smiles alongside Balakrishna (whose look is hidden from the frame). Sarathkumar also plays a crucial role in the film.

Anil Ravipudi, in earlier interviews, shared he’d be distancing away from his brand of entertainers for the Balakrishna starrer, which will be high on emotions and action. Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi are bankrolling the film under Shine Screens. Ever since #NBK108 went on floors, it has faced regular postponements owing to miscellaneous reasons. One hopes this won’t be case any further.

Composer S Thaman, after scoring hits like Akhanda and Veera Simha Reddy with Balakrishna, continues his association with the star. C Ram Prasad, the cinematographer of Akhanda, cranks the camera for this film as well while Tammi Raju is the editor. Rajeevan is the production designer and V Venkat is the action director.
