Naga Chaitanya has pinned all his hopes on his upcoming film Thandel. The film, directed by Chandoo Mondeti, stars Sai Pallavi and is produced by Bunny Vas under the Geetha Arts banner.
The film has been in the news since it started shooting. Akkineni fans also see this film as a ticket for Naga Chaitanya to rise into the league of top Telugu stars. However, recent developments have put the film into trouble, which was totally unforeseen.

After Allu Arjun’s arrest in the case involving the death of a woman in the Sandhya Theater stampede, his bail, and the legal and political drama that followed, which is growing stronger with each passing minute, Allu Aravind, Bunny Vas, and the team of Geetha Arts have come under immense stress. They are unable to concentrate on the film’s promotions and release strategies.
Thandel is currently nowhere on their priority list. Bunny Vas, who usually handles all the promotional strategies for Geetha Arts’ films, is fully occupied with managing Allu Arjun’s issues. Akkineni fans speculate that Thandel might be impacted by Allu Arjun’s case.

However, the film is set to release on February 7, so there is still time, and there are good chances that all these issues might die down by that time.
In Thandel, Naga Chaitanya plays a fisherman facing the struggles of coastal life, inspired by real events from coastal communities. Sai Pallavi is expected to give a strong performance, creating an interesting chemistry with Chaitanya. The film also explores themes between India and Pakistan.
