Balakrishna took a really long time to finalise his milestone 100th project after considering several filmmakers’ scripts and almost saying yes to a few of them too. And after great deal of scrutiny, the actor has announced the story of erstwhile ruler Gautamiputra Satakarni under the direction of Krish Jagarlamudi as the prestigious venture.

After announcing that his 100th will be a historic film based on the story of Gautamiputra Satakarni, the erstwhile ruler of Amaravathi, it is now learnt that the actor is going to undergo a complete makeover for his role in the film.

The actor is all set to don some exquisite royal attire specially customised for him and he will also sport authentic jewellery worth Rs 12 crore! Yes, you heard that right. Considering it is a movie which is based on a certain time frame, and a completely different era has to be recreated, director Krish and Balakrishna have discussed the authentic touch to make the film look extremely real.

Also, the film’s budget could be anywhere near Rs 50 crore! Wow, that’s one film worth waiting for now.
