Nandhavanam 120 km (also known as 120 km) is 2006 Telugu language Indian thriller film written directed and produced by G. Neelakanta Reddy. The film was released on 30 June 2006.

Plot

Amir (Ajay) is a thief who makes a deal with Banerjee (Kota Srinivasa Rao) to scam the owners of the Nandanavanam estate for whom Banerjee works as an auditor.

Production

G. Neelakanta Reddy decided his script and story needed "fresh Faces" and so chose to use relative newcomers for this latest project. He also decided that, despite the use of "catchy tunes" in his 2003 film Missamma, with his being a "believer in the dominance of script over everything", this project would be a film without dependence on songs. Due to her wish to perform in a Telugu film, Mumbai actress Talluri Rameshwari had begged Neelakanta for a role in this project.
