Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is in great need of commercial success at the box office, as it has been a while since he last delivered a winning film. Akkineni fans are hoping that Chaitanya will quench their thirst with Thandel now as the film heads for release on February 7.

Coming to the topic now, the latest box Office, his reports are suggesting that Thandel has done the highest amount of pre-release business for Naga Chaitanya till date. This film was reportedly sold for ₹37 crore in the Telugu states and overseas.

This is the highest amount featured by any Naga Chaitanya film before the release. GA2 pictures appear to be super confident about the content and that is the reason why this usually calculated production house has sold the rights for such a hefty price.

This is the highest pre-release business done by any film of Naga Chaitanya till date, and this naturally adds a lot of expectation to the intense action drama. Earlier, this record was held by Love Story which did Rs 31 crore business.

Custody and Thank You did Rs 24 and Rs 25 crore business respectively but they were disappointing ventures. The expectation now is that Chaitanya will rewrite his own legacy by delivering the biggest hit in his career in the form of Thandel now.

All factors combined, this film will now have to generate over ₹ 40 crore worldwide in order to be a safe venture. Though this might seem like a big number, it is achievable if the word of mouth is very positive, and the early reviews are very much in favour of the film.

Thandel is an action oriented live drama set in fishermen backdrop as a group of Indian fishermen get caught in the Pakistani waters. The film is directed by Chandoo Mondeti and produced by GA2 Pictures.
