The title of Nandamuri Balakrishna's 102nd film is 'Karna'. The title has been almost locked and is expected to be made official sooner than later.  'Jayadev' was under the makers' active consideration. But they are finding 'Karna' to be more effective.

Directed by KS Ravikumar, the mass entertainer has Nayanthara playing the female lead. Debutante Natasha has a key role.

Jagapathi Babu, Murali Mohan, Brahmanandam, Prakash Raj and Jayaprakash Reddy are also doing the film. M Ratnam has penned the dialogues. Chirantan Bhatt of 'Kanche' and 'Gautamiputra Satakarni' is doing music. The cinematography is by Ram Prasad.

The film is one more Sankranthi release in Balayya's career.
