Priyanka Jawalkar in NBK 108?

After dilly-dallying many names, it looks like director Anil Ravipudi has found the leading lady for his new film, NBK 108, featuring Nandamuri Balakrishna in the lead. According to a well-placed source, Anil is in final talks to sign on Telugu girl Priyanka Jawalkar as the female lead opposite Balakrishna in the action entertainer.

"Anil was impressed with the recent makeover of Priyanka and has completed a trial photoshoot on her. He believes that she would fit in perfectly for the role that requires her to look mature as well as innocent. Priyanka, too, was pleased with the character and in all probability, she may sign the dotted line in a week or two," informs a source.

The film's principal photography will commence on December 8 in a specially erected Central Jail set in Bachupally. "The team will be filming a high-voltage action sequence on Balakrishna and others for 12 days. After this, the makers will jet off to either Maredumilli or another forest area to shoot a few pivotal scenes," the source adds.

Produced by Sahu Garapati and Harish Peddi under Shine Screens, NBK 108 has Arjun Rampal as the antagonist, while Sreeleela will be seen in a crucial role.
