In addition to Naga Chaitanya, Thandel stars Sai Pallavi as the female lead, marking their second collaboration after the 2021 film Love Story. The film’s makers recently unveiled a sneak peek titled “Essence of Thandel,” providing viewers with a preliminary glimpse into the movie, offering insight into the film’s world and what audiences can anticipate.
The 2-minute and 11-second video kicks off with Naga Chaitanya’s character venturing into the sea. It then transitions to depict the character confined in a Karachi prison under mysterious circumstances. Despite attempts by police officers to intimidate him, Chaitanya’s character remains unfazed, confidently praising India. The teaser concludes by providing a brief glimpse of Sai Pallavi’s character leisurely strolling along the beach.
Thandel is said to be inspired by true events involving the fisherfolk in Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh, in 2018. Reports indicate that Naga Chaitanya’s role in the film will be that of a fisherman from the community.
