Chandoo Mondeti is the director of this realistic attempt and Sai Pallavi is the leading lady. Rockstar Devi Sri Prasad scored the music and background score for Thandel. The film is based on a real incident that took place in a coastal village in Srikakulam region. Naga Chaitanya plays a fisherman in the film.
