Finally, it's Anjali for Balayya

Ever since Balayya's 98th film, Lion, was released last week, discussions began to heat up about the star cast and other details for the eagerly awaited 99th film. It is already confirmed that Sriwass will direct this powerful film, besides producing it in joint collaboration with Eros. Nayanthara and Anjali were rumoured to have been approached by the makers to play the lead role.

As per the latest reports, Anjali has been confirmed as Balayya's heroine for the 99th. After her last hit film, Geethanjali, surprisingly, Anjali did not sign any films in Telugu except a film in Pilla Jamindar Ashok's direction. However, the homely beauty is busy shooting for a handful of high profile films in Tamil and Kannada.

This will be Anjali's second film opposite a star actor. Earlier, her innocent act as Seetha opposite Venkatesh in the successful family drama, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, got her numerous fans. Star writers Kona Venkat and Gopi Mohan are providing story and screenplay for the film. Titled Dictator, the film will be launched officially on 29th May.
