We had earlier reported that Nandamuri Balakrishna's 105th film directed by KS Ravi Kumar has been titled Ruler. The makers of the film released the actor's first look today and announced that the action entertainer will be released on December 20. 

Balakrishna, who recently played a cop in Paisa Vasool, is once again donning the khaki in the film produced by C Kalyan. The first look poster showing a bearded Balayya carrying a sledgehammer in his hand has gone viral on social media. Balakrishna has followed a strict diet and shed a few kilos by working out for five hours a day to get in shape. 

Also starring Sonal Chauhan, Vedhika, Prakash Raj and Bhumika Chawla, Ruler has music by Chirantan Bhatt. The makers have recently wrapped up shooting an action sequence on Balakrishna and others in Ramoji Film City and are gearing up for the next schedule.
