Nandamuri Balakrishna is preparing for a comeback after his recent leg surgery. Doctors have reportedly advised him to take around two months of rest, but the actor is expected to return to the sets in September for his film with Gopichand Malineni.

The plan is to complete Balakrishna’s major scenes in September, finish patchwork in October, and wrap up post-production in November.

If everything goes as planned, NBK111 could hit theatres in December. However, December is already packed with major releases according to the trade.

Fauzi is scheduled for December 3, followed by Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, while Dune: Part Three and Shah Rukh Khan’s King are also expected during the holiday season.

Despite the competition, the NBK111 team is reportedly looking for a strong December date. One needs to see which date the makers will lock in for the release.
