Never Played a Character Like Thandel Raju Before: Chay

Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi's upcoming romantic action entertainer Thandel is all set for release on February 7th, and it's already creating a buzz, thanks to the overwhelming response to its songs. The makers today dropped the third track, Hilessa Hilessa, which is quickly gaining popularity.

Producer Allu Aravind encouraged students to get creative with memes, stating he has no problem with them. “Naga Chaitanya’s performance in this film is exceptional. I’m confident that this movie is going to be the biggest grosser. Thandel is a pure love story,” he said.

Director Chandoo Mondeti shared that the central theme of Thandel revolves around love for patriotism. He added, “It’s a beautiful love story where every Raju dreams of a Bujji Thalli, and every Bujji Thalli longs for a lover like Raju. It’s an emotionally charged narrative, and I promise, you’ll want to watch it again. If not, I’ll change my name.”

Naga Chaitanya expressed how special the film is to him. “The story is based on the lives of fishermen, and it’s rare for an actor to get a role and a script like this. I’ve never played a character like Thandel Raju before. Bujji Thalli is my favorite song in the film.”

With the release date approaching, the team is planning to come up with regular updates.
