Thandel: Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s film sets record even before its release

New Delhi: Currently, Thandel is considered one of the most awaited pan-India movies from the Telugu film industry. The upcoming film stars Naga Chaitanya in the lead role. It has been directed by renowned filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti, who is best known for the Karthikeya series.

Prior to its release, Thandel has generated significant buzz on social media. Adding to the excitement, Devi Sri Prasad’s chart-topping music is trending all over the Internet. Songs like Bujji Thalli and Highlessa Highlessa have garnered millions of views and lakhs of likes on YouTube. It would not be wrong to say that the heart-winning music of Thandel is one of the key factors giving it an edge over its competition in cinemas.

According to a TV9Telugu report, Thandel is said to be based on real-life events and will be hitting theaters on Friday, February 7, 2025. You will be amazed to know that the film’s team has been actively promoting it over the past few days, holding events in various locations.

Thandel tops IMDb list

Interestingly, even before its release, the film has already set a new record. According to information released by IMDb, Thandel is currently the most awaited film in India. No, we are not kidding! The romantic action thriller tops the list, which includes major Bollywood films like Chhaava starring Vicky Kaushal and Mere Husband Ki Biwi starring Arjun Kapoor.

This clearly shows the high expectations from fans across the country for Thandel. Sai Pallavi’s film Amaran was released without much hype but still received an overwhelming response from the public. Now, Thandel is releasing amid massive expectations. It will be really interesting to see if all the hype translates into Box Office numbers in the coming days.

Produced by Bunny Vasu under Geetha Arts and presented by Allu Aravind, Thandel reportedly also features Prakash Belawadi, Rao Ramesh, Karunakaran and Babloo Prithiveeraj in pivotal roles. The film has been edited by Naveen Nooli.
