Naga Chaitanya is coming with a power-pack action film named Thandel. The upcoming project is ready to kick off the shooting as the makers have finally spilled the poster of the character along with the film title. The title of the film has been named as Naga Chaitanya’s character. The makers unlocked the first-look poster and shared it by depicting Chaitanya sitting in a rugged boat amidst stormy weather. He is holding a row and dressed up in a simple brown vest and pants.

Plot

The story of the film revolves around real-life events, a story of a leader who was born to ride against the tide and time to save his people. As per the new poster, we will say that it has suggested Naga is playing the role of a leader of the fisherman community. The term ‘Thandel’ or ‘Tandel’ symbolizes a boatman. Naga Chaitanya will appear as a boatman in this film who used to fish for his livelihood. As per requirement, Chandoo Mondeti and Naga Chaitanya visited the K Matchilesam village in Srikakulam for the preparation, communicating with the local fishermen to truly acknowledge their lifestyle and culture.

The makers dropped the poster on X and captioned it, “A leader is born to ride against the tide and rime for his people; @chay_akkineni in and as #Thandel; The Birthday Celebrations of Yuvasamrat begin early.”

The actor also shared the same poster on his Instagram he wrote, “#NC23 is #Thandel
