The decade-long anticipation surrounding the acting debut of Nandamuri Mokshagna Teja, son of legendary actor Nandamuri Balakrishna, seems to be reaching a climax. Rumors are rife in Film Nagar that Mokshagna will make his grand entry not with a routine commercial potboiler, but with a sensational sci-fi project titled ‘Aditya 999 Max’. This film is envisioned as a successor to the 1991 cult classic Aditya 369, which was a pioneer in the time-travel genre in Indian cinema, originally created by the legendary director Singitam Srinivasa Rao.
Creative director Krish Jagarlamudi is reportedly tipped to helm this prestigious venture. Krish, who previously delivered the landmark hit Gautamiputra Satakarni for Balakrishna, is said to be crafting a script that blends high-concept science fiction with mass appeal. The project is expected to feature Hollywood-standard visual effects and top-tier technical values. While Balakrishna was initially expected to lead this sequel himself, he reportedly feels that this time-travel saga would serve as the perfect launchpad to showcase his son’s potential to a modern audience.
The film is planned on a massive budget to ensure no compromises are made on its visual grandeur. Although an official announcement is still awaited, the buzz has already sent Nandamuri fans into a frenzy. Insiders suggest that pre-production work is already underway, focusing on the intricate world-building required for the “Max” franchise. If these reports hold true, Mokshagna’s debut could be one of the most technologically advanced and highly anticipated openings in the history of Telugu cinema.
