The 100 is headlined by RK Sagar. It co-stars Misha Narang, Dhanya Balakrishna, Anand, and Kalyani Natarajan. The cop thriller is produced by Ramesh Karutoori, Venki Pushadapu, and J Tharak Ram.
Ahead of the movie's theatrical release on July 11th, Sagar talks about the movie's highlights. He also throws light on his plans as an actor.
The title refers to IPC Section 100 (dealing with the right to private defence). The scope of the subject is vast. As the story progresses and the span widens, new elements unfold.
The 100 is a blend of several elements. Usually, investigative thrillers are dry. But this film has been made as a commercial entertainer with elements like family drama, thrills, action and more. It's an emotional action thriller that points at several problems in our society and also comes up with a solution.
As the character RK Naidu (in the TV serial Mogali Rekulu), I became known for a cop character. Vikranth IPS in The 100 is authentic. The way he approaches the cases, the way he interacts is very different from RK Naidu's. From his demeanour to his mindset, Vikranth is a far cry from Naidu. Mogali Rekulu made me a household name. It was a fictional character. Vikranth is more real than him. He is true to life.
Coming to my character in The 100, Vikranth is a rules-bound cop. He has laid his own restrictions. But there comes a point when he must break his own rules. There is a possibility that a sequel to The 100 would be made.
Among the female characters, the ones played by Misha Narang, Dhanya and Vishnupriya are important. Misha's character will move the audience to tears. We have picked the right release date. We searched for the date right since January.
Music director Harshavardhan Rameshwar (Animal, Arjun Reddy fame) felt that the script has so much potential. He has made a mark with his music for The 100. (Shyam K Naidu has taken care of music and cinematography. Vijay Dragon Prakash has composed the stunts.)
Since the audience have embraced me as a family member, I want to prefer quality over quantity. The gap between The 100 and my next film won't be too long, though.
I was offered a character in OG. However, due to miscommunication, it didn't fall into place. Since I get to travel with Pawan Kalyan garu, I am not missing it!
