Naga Chaitanya’s Thandel is a crucial film for the actor. Co-starring Sai Pallavi, the film is directed by Chandoo Mondeti who earlier directed Naga Chaitanya for Premam and Savyasaachi. Thandel is produced by Bunny Vasu under the Geetha Arts banner. Bunny Vasu also revealed Thandel story and spoke at length about some real-life incidents that the film will capture.
Thandel story follows a real-life incident of 21 fishermen from Srikakulam who go to Gujarata for contract work. These fishermen unwittingly find themselves in Pakistani waters and are arrested and held captive in Pakistan jails and face brutality. The producer further revealed that the film will also feature terror attacks that happened in Kashmir in the backdrop of events that followed the abrogation of Article 371.
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’.
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.”
