Actor Naga Chaitanya, who recently impressed the audience with a remarkable performance in the debut OTT series Dhootha, has wrapped up the ongoing schedule of his upcoming movie Thandel. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the film features Sai Pallavi as the female lead and is inspired by real events that unfolded in Srikakulam in 2018. In this cinematic venture, Naga Chaitanya steps into the shoes of a fisherman, adding a new dimension to his acting repertoire.

The film went on floors in December and the makers have now completed shooting two major schedules. Production house Geetha Arts took to their social media account to announce the completion of a current schedule and shared a few working stills from the sets. In these pictures, we can see Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi working on the scenes with director Chandoo Mondeti. 


Naga Chaitanya can be seen donning a raw and rustic look, in a casual checked shirt, engaged in discussions about scenes. These behind-the-scenes snapshots reinforce the expectation that Thandel will unfold in a natural and raw manner, offering audiences a compelling and authentic movie experience. 

The film has Mangalavaraam fame Divya Pillai playing a pivotal role. She will be seen playing Sai Pallavi's sister in the film.
