Aishwarya Rajesh has been confirmed as the female lead opposite Nagarjuna Akkineni in his milestone 100th film, tentatively titled Lottery King. After her successful outing in Sankranthiki Vasthunam — which also starred Venkatesh — she now takes on a high-profile Telugu project alongside one of the industry’s most celebrated stars.
Tabu is also on board in a key role for this action-packed family entertainer. Seeing Aishwarya Rajesh paired with Nagarjuna — in his 100th film — is one of the more compelling casting decisions in recent Tollywood news.
Director Ra Karthik on the Milestone Project
Director Ra Karthik admitted he was initially hesitant about helming such a landmark for a relatively new Tamil director working in Telugu cinema. Nagarjuna reportedly brushed off those concerns, saying “language has never been a barrier” — pointing to his history with directors like Mani Ratnam (Geetanjali) and Priyadarshan (Nirnayam).
Iconic Vintage Getups Promised for Nagarjuna
Ra Karthik has also promised a “super stylish version” of Nagarjuna for Lottery King, with multiple getups paying homage to classic looks from Shiva and Ratchagan, as well as his role as Simon in Coolie.
