When asked about the possibility of joining the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), Naga Chaitanya expressed enthusiastic interest. He remarked, “Of course, I would love to be a part of it.”
For those unfamiliar, the LCU features prominent names from South cinema, including Karthi, Kamal Haasan, Suriya, and Thalapathy Vijay. These stars have delivered blockbuster hits like ‘Kaithi’, ‘Vikram’, ‘Rolex’, and ‘Leo’ within the interconnected universe of LCU.
Returning to ‘Thandel’, the film is presented by Allu Aravind and directed by Chandoo Mondeti. It unfolds against the backdrop of the fishermen community in the Srikakulam region.
The film’s storyline revolves around a fisherman who, during a routine fishing expedition, finds himself adrift in Pakistani waters, facing unforeseen hardships. What ensues is a gripping tale of vengeance and determination as he strives to return home to his motherland and reunite with his loved ones.
Alongside Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi portrays the film’s leading lady. The trailer has garnered a positive reception from fans, heightening anticipation for an engaging cinematic experience in theaters.
