First Look: Much-Awaited #NC23 Is Now ‘Thandel’

It is well known that Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is working with the highly talented Chandoo Mondeti on a very interesting project. The hero-director duo worked together for ‘Premam’ and ‘Savyasachi’ earlier. For their third movie together, they have planned something huge and Geetha Arts banner is bankrolling it. Sai Pallavi is the female lead as announced and the makers have revealed the title as well as Chaitanya’s look in the movie.

The movie is named ‘Thandel’ and the first look poster is quite dramatic. The makers claim that a leader is born to ride against the tide and time for his people. We can see that the director gave a description of the hero’s character in the title logo. It reads, “The one who anchors his crew, his love and his people and won’t care to sacrifice his life.” Chaitanya looks rugged in the long hair and thick beard.

His muscular body is quite visible in this poster and he is seated on the boat. Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad is the music composer while Bunny Vasu is the producer. Allu Aravind presents this flick while Shamdat is the cinematographer.

Talking about the film, director Chandoo Mondeti said, “Our pre-production begins now after coming to this village and observing every minute detail. A local guy named Karthik prepared a story based on a real incident that happened in 2018. He initially told the story to Aravind Garu and Bunny Vas Garu. I got excited when I heard the story. We’ve been working on the script for the last 2 years. The script is ready now and it has come out well.”
