Thandel is the result of nearly two to three years of relentless hard work and dedication. What initially began as a documentary-style concept at Geetha Arts has blossomed into a beautifully layered narrative, thanks to director Chandoo Mondeti’s vision and passion for the story. Deeply connected to the core plot, the director reimagined it as a compelling love story infused with patriotic undertones and a heartfelt portrayal of the struggles faced by fishermen.

Naga Chaitanya’s commitment to his role as Raju is truly commendable. Beyond undergoing a physical transformation, he immersed himself in mastering the dialect, body language, and nuances of the character. The cast and crew braved challenging conditions, spending 35 to 40 days shooting at sea, enduring humidity and physical strain to bring authenticity to the screen.

This marks the second collaboration between Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi after the blockbuster Love Story. Their on-screen chemistry in Thandel is once again electric, with the love story feeling fresh and magical, as evident in the songs and trailer.

With advance bookings looking strong, Thandel is poised to recreate the magic of Love Story and deliver an unforgettable cinematic experience!
