Tabu set to play negative character as she reunites with Nagarjuna for ‘King 100’
Tabu and Nagarjuna are set to reunite in ‘King 100’, and this time Tabu is taking on a darker turn. Current production updates confirm she will play a negative character, positioning her as the film’s central antagonist opposite Nagarjuna’s lead role.
The casting marks a notable shift for Tabu, who has balanced mainstream and author‑driven cinema for decades but rarely steps into outright villainy. Her role in ‘King 100’ is described as pivotal to the film’s conflict, adding a new dynamic to the long‑running franchise.
The reunion itself has generated considerable buzz. Tabu and Nagarjuna last appeared together in hits such as Ninne Pelladutha and Aavida Maa Aavide, forming one of Telugu cinema’s most recognisable screen pairings of the late 1990s and early 2000s. Their return in a milestone instalment has already become one of the film’s biggest talking points.
