After the success of Love Story, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. The film is scheduled for December 20th release this year. Directed by Chandu Mondeti and jointly produced by Bunny Vaas and Allu Arvind, the film promises to be a gripping sea backdrop rural drama. Unlike rushing through production, the team is taking their time to ensure a polished outcome.
One of the film’s intriguing aspects is the character transformation of Naga Chaitanya, who will be seen in a massy avatar like never before. The storyline revolves around an ordinary young man engaged in boat-driving and fishing, risking his life to venture into Pakistan. The mystery behind this daring decision adds an element of thrill to the narrative.
Meanwhile, an interesting leak suggests that two different climaxes are being considered for Thandel. Director Chandu Mondeti has penned alternative endings, contemplating the fate of the love story between Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s characters. Sai Pallavi’s character, Bujji Thalli, plays a pivotal role, showcasing her chemistry with Chaitanya. Their performances reportedly peak during the pre-climax, adding depth to the storyline.
Speculation is rife regarding the film’s ending, with rumors suggesting both tragic and happy conclusions. One scenario depicts Naga Chaitanya’s character enduring hardships in a Pakistani jail, only to return home and discover Sai Pallavi’s untimely demise. The other possibility hints at a joyful reunion between the lovers. The final decision is said to be based on team feedback, ensuring the most impactful conclusion.
Amidst these speculations, reports of Netflix acquiring the film for over 40 crores have surfaced, highlighting the producers’ confidence in its commercial success. Additionally, Thandel will face competition from Nitin Robin Hood on its release day, prompting the team to plan promotional activities starting from October.
