Tollywood Actor Naga Chaitanya struck gold with his Thandel. The Actor who needed a big hit after continuous failures has delivered a memorable blockbuster with the film. Thandel has collected 85 crores till now and also became one of the highest grossers for a Tier 2 Actor. Thanel’s OTT streaming date has also been locked now by the makers.
The Digital rights of the film were bagged by Netflix for a record price, and around 1/3rd of the budget was said to be covered by this sale. Thandel will be streamed on Netflix from the 6th of March. The team is also expecting to attract other language viewers from this as the film didn’t perform well in the other language markets. Chandoo Mondeti whose previous film, Karthikeya 2 became a big hit in Hindi didn’t pull the Audience to the theatres.
On the other hand, Thandel is based on real life, an incident involving fishermen who were mistakenly caught at Pakistani borders and an arrest followed later to their distress and how they fought against them to return to India. Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi delivered one of their finest performances backed by heart-wringing Music composed by Devi Sri Prasad. Produced by Geetha Arts, the film is produced by Bunny Vas and presented by Allu Aravind.
