Has Nandamuri Balakrishna finalised script for his 99th film?

“Last week he okayed the script, which has been written by Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan. The film will only go on floors after he completes ‘Lion’. Meanwhile, he plans to zero in on a director to start the pre-production work,” the source told IANS.

One of the reasons Balakrishna is working at breakneck speed is said to be his desire to complete his 100th film to concentrate on his political career with Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

‘Lion’, which is being directed debutant Satyadev, also features Trisha Krishnan and Radhika Apte in important roles.
