Nandamuri Balakrishna's yet untitled Telugu film, to be directed by KS Ravi Kumar, started rolling from today. This will be the actor's 102^nd film. "The film's official launch happened earlier today and it was followed by regular shooting," a source from the unit said.

This marks the third collaboration of Balakrishna and Nayanthara, who have previously worked together in Simhaa and Sri Rama Rajyam. C Kalyan is bankrolling the project and the makers are eyeing early next year release. Known for delivering blockbusters such as Muthu and Annamalai, Ravi Kumar is joining hands with Balakrishna for the first time.

Meanwhile, Balakrishna's upcoming Telugu action entertainer Paisa Vasool is slated for September 1 release.
