Discussing his role in NBK 109, Bobby expressed his admiration for the film’s lead actor, Nandamuri Balakrishna, and the director, Bobby Kolli. “Balakrishna sir is a sweetheart. He is young at heart and is full of energy. My director Bobby is yet another beautiful soul, and I am lucky to work with such amazing people,” Bobby said. While he remained tight-lipped about his character, speculation suggests that Bobby will be playing the antagonist in the film.

NBK 109 marks Bobby Deol’s second venture into Telugu cinema following Hari Hara Veera Mallu, in which he stars alongside Pawan Kalyan. The film is directed by Bobby Kolli and produced by Naga Vamsi under the Sithara Entertainment banner. It is touted to be a high-octane action drama, with Balakrishna in a ferocious avatar that promises to captivate audiences. The technical crew includes S Thaman as the music composer, Vijay Karthik Kannan as the cinematographer, and Niranjan Devaramane as the editor.

The excitement around NBK 109 is palpable, with an announcement teaser revealing Balakrishna’s character as a ‘mighty and monstrous’ force devoid of pity, mercy, or empathy. The teaser describes Balakrishna’s role as a ‘demon’ who arrives on earth to eradicate evil.

As fans eagerly await the release of these films, Bobby Deol also has an array of line-up including a pivotal role in Alpha starring Alia Bhatt, Anil Kapoor and Sharvari Wagh.
