Naga Chaitanya is in desperate need of a box-office hit. His last two films Custody and Thank You were major box -office failures and his Bollywood debut in Aamir Khan’s Lal Singh Chaddha was also a disappointment with the film becoming a disaster. Now the ‘Love Story’ actor has pinned all his hopes on Chandu Mondeti’s ‘Thandel’.
The film will feature Naga Chaitanya as a fisherman and he will be seen speaking Srikakulam dialect. In a recent interview, he shared some facts about Thandel and how the theatrical business has seen a transformation in recent times. Speaking about theatres, he said that “only larger-than-life movies are able to draw the crowd to the theatres in this age of OTTs.”
“Having said that, you simply can’t put up a visual extravaganza because that’s what the market requires,” he added. He also explained that every movie can’t be scaled to that level and it must be an organic process in which the content dictates the project’s scope, and most importantly, you must suit the character.
Speaking about Thandel, Naga Chaitanya narrated his journey through the process and said, “I spent nearly nine months preparing for Thandel. It’s such an inspirational story. I wanted to make sure I get everything right, especially the Srikakulam accent… This is the biggest film of my career, and I needed this role.”
