Hyderabad, India – October 24, 2024 – Tollywood’s rising star Naga Chaitanya is currently working on the highly anticipated film Thandel, directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti. Based on real-life events of fishermen from Uttarandhra, the film also features a captivating love story.

Produced by Bunny Vasu under the banner of Geetha Arts 2, Thandel is being made on a grand scale with the backing of renowned producer Allu Aravind. The film stars Sai Pallavi as the female lead, marking their reunion after their successful collaboration in Love Story.

With the shooting nearing completion, the makers of Thandel have been releasing promotional content that has generated considerable buzz. The film is widely expected to be a commercial success, and audiences are eagerly awaiting its release.

However, the exact release date of Thandel has been a subject of much speculation. While initial rumors suggested a December 20 release, the postponement of Ram Charan’s Game Changer led to speculation that Thandel might fill the void. However, with the censor process yet to be completed, there is now uncertainty regarding the film’s release timeline.

Many believe that Thandel would be an ideal fit for a Sankranti release, given the film’s buzz and the festive season’s popularity among Telugu cinema audiences. Compared to Game Changer, which has not generated as much excitement, Thandel is seen as a strong contender for the Sankranti box office.

However, recent rumors suggest that the makers of Thandel are considering releasing the film around Republic Day or Valentine’s Day. This decision has been met with disappointment among netizens, who believe that Sankranti is the most ideal time for the film’s release.

As the release date of Thandel remains uncertain, fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the film’s team. The decision they make will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the film’s box office prospects.
