His latest release, Coolie, saw him in a significant role alongside Rajinikanth, and the original source also noted his appearance with Sowben Shahir, Upendra Kumar, Aamir Khan, and Shruti Haasan.
The Director for Film Number 100

The groundwork for ‘King 100’ has been happening behind the scenes for quite some time. Nagarjuna revealed that the script was pitched to him by director Karthik a whole year ago. The preparation phase has been ongoing for the last six to seven months. He described it as a "fantastic film" and an "action-packed family drama." The plan is to kick off shooting right after Coolie.
Nagarjuna’s New Role
So, what kind of character will Nagarjuna play in his 100th film? It’s an interesting shift! In Coolie, he’s playing a villain.
