Dada Release Date: 24 December 2026 Expected

The makers have not shared a plot. The title glimpse shows Balakrishna in a rugged look taking on a gang of villains and introduces him as the "King of Chaos".

Release date and status

The title Dada and the release date of 24 December 2026 were announced together in early September 2026, alongside a title glimpse. The date puts the film in a Christmas clash with Nagarjuna's King 100, which is due the same day. Promotions had not started in earnest as of 23 October 2026, so we mark the date as expected.

From NBK111 to Dada

The project was known as NBK111 until the title reveal. It is Balakrishna's second film with Gopichand Malineni, who earlier directed him in Veera Simha Reddy. The glimpse released with the title presents Balakrishna in a rough, violent avatar, which points to the kind of large-scale mass entertainer the pair is known for.
