Karthi releases Naga Chaitanya- Sai Pallavi’s ‘Thandel’ movie trailer

Thandel movie trailer released starring Naga Chaitanya

The trailer of the movie ‘Thandel’ starring Naga Chaitanya, the leading star actor of the Telugu film industry, has been released. For this, Tamil’s leading star actor Karthi participated as a special guest at a special launch ceremony held at a star hotel in Chennai and released the trailer.

Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi are playing the lead roles in the movie ‘Thandel’, which is being directed by director Sandhu Mondetti. Prakash Belavadi, Karunakaran, ‘Aadukalam’ Naren, Bablu and others are also playing the lead roles. Sham Dutt Zainuddin has done the cinematography for this movie and ‘Rock Star’ Devi Sri Prasad has composed the music for this movie. This romantic survival drama film is produced by producer Bunny Vas under Geetha Arts. It is presented by Allu Aravind. In Tamil, it is released by producer S. R. Prabhu under Dream Warrior Pictures.

The pre-release event of this film, which will be released in theaters worldwide in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi from the 7th of this coming February, was held at a star hotel in Chennai. The event was attended by the film’s producer Allu Aravind, producer S. R. Prabhu, actor Naga Chaitanya, actress Sai Pallavi, music composer Devi Sri Prasad, actor Karthi, directors Karthik Subbaraj – Venkat Prabhu, actors Karunakaran, Aadukalam Naren and many others.

Speaking at the event, producer S. R. Prabhu said, “What is Thandel? The question arises in everyone. In Indian cinema, we are now crossing the language barrier. The titles of the films that are currently being released seem to appeal to everyone. We have become accustomed to this after ‘Baahubali’. No one has ever questioned what Baahubali is. Similarly, I hope that Thandel will also receive great support without anyone asking questions. However, we will know from the trailer that Thandel means leader in this film.

It is clear when you watch this film that they have made it with dedication. Without the pressure of making a pan-Indian film.. they have created a story and made this film with the hope that it will reach the pan-Indian audience. They have worked hard for this. I would like to thank producer Allu Aravind for giving our Dream Warrior Pictures the opportunity to release this film in Tamil Nadu.

At a time when it is challenging to pass 10 or 15 years as a producer in the film industry, Allu Aravind, the producer of Geetha Arts, has been continuously delivering films for 50 years. Geetha Arts is an example for everyone in this regard.

I have always wanted to work with Naga Chaitanya. But now I have got the opportunity to distribute a film that he has acted in throughout Tamil Nadu.

If Sai Pallavi acts in a film.. Sai Pallavi has created a belief in the people of Tamil Nadu that the film will be good. Since she has acted in this film, I also believe that this film will be good.

Actor Karunakaran has now become a pan-Indian actor and my congratulations to him.

My congratulations to everyone who worked on this film. The film will be released all over Tamil Nadu on the seventh of February. I request everyone to support this too,” he said.

Speaking, Director Karthik Subbaraj said, ”At the time of the shooting of the film Retro, actor Karunakaran had spoken about the film. Since then, I have high expectations for this film. Director Sandhu’s previous films are good. They have talented star actors like Naga Chaitanya – Sai Pallavi. The love story between them. I expect it to be interesting because it has a unique background.

Karunakaran mentioned that he has traveled a lot while narrating. When he was talking about the place where the story takes place.. when he saw it in preview.. it was interesting. The songs of Rockstar were also good. My best wishes to the entire film crew.

Actor Karunakaran is talented. He can play any character, not just comedy. He is making his Telugu debut with this film. I wish him opportunities in Telugu as well. I wish the film to be successful,” he said.

Speaking, Director Venkat Prabhu said, ”I am happy. I am meeting Naga Chaitanya now after a year and a half.
I am. His script selection is unique. It is difficult to convince Naga Chaitanya.

This genre is new. When Karunakaran told me about the film, he said that it is a film based on a true story. The hard work of the crew is evident when you watch the preview of the film. Shooting in the sea is difficult. Challenging. But it has been shot beautifully and elegantly. My congratulations to the director and the entire team.

I am a big fan of Sai Pallavi. Not only me but many directors are your fans. I welcome you to be paired together on screen again. There is positive energy when you both are seen on screen.

DSP and I have been hanging out together since we were young. Only now is the independent music album becoming popular, but in the 90s, Devi Sri Prasad – S.P.P. Charan released an independent music album together. Even if I was in that group, they would not let me sing. He has also given his hard work for this film. My congratulations to him too.

Director Sandhu – I have seen his previous films including ‘Karthikeya’. This is the third time he and Naga Chaitanya have collaborated. Director Sandhu is directing films in different genres. My congratulations to him too.

You have introduced our Karunakaran in Telugu. I congratulate the film crew for this too.

Naga Chaitanya is talented. He works with dedication. He can speak Tamil well. Tamil directors can go to him and explain the story and the scene in Tamil. He also puts a lot of effort to improve a scene. I wish that we both work together in a film again. But I want it to be a Telugu film. Because it should not be a mix of Telugu and Tamil. Even though he comes from a family background with a big film personality, he is easy to get along with. I congratulate him for this too. I wish this film to be a huge success and touch new heights,” he said.

Music composer ‘Rockstar’ Devi Sri Prasad said, ”I am very happy. ‘Thandel’ is a special film for me. Producer Bunny Vas and director Sandhu met me about the film ‘Thandel’ and told me a story about the film in one line. That was interesting. That interestingness was there throughout the film. So I was excited to work on it. I hope you all get it.

If it comes to the sea.. then the connection between that film and Chennai will be easily established. This film also has everything – sea- beach- fishermen- love. So this film will be close to the Tamil Nadu fans.

Allu Aravind has known me since I was a child. He is also a great music fan. I thank him for producing this film and giving me the opportunity.

Naga Chaitanya is my friend. My brother. Talented. I was surprised when I saw the poster of the film ‘Thandel’. He had changed his body shape for this character. This is not our usual Naga Chaitanya..! I thought. My congratulations to her who worked hard for the film.

Just saying the name Sai Pallavi is enough. Everyone will like it. Even India’s best director Mani Ratnam is a fan of Sai Pallavi. She has also given her best contribution in this film. My congratulations to her too. She is not only a great actress. She is a good dancer. Will she dance in the songs in her films..? I will eagerly await. Whatever a song needs.. she embellishes it with small dance moves within that song.

All the scenes in this film are excellent, awe-inspiring and magnificent. My congratulations to everyone who worked on this film.

My thanks to Karthi, director Karthik Subbaraj and Venkat Prabhu, who are attending the event as special guests by releasing the preview of this film.

I will always give importance and priority to lyricists. Because I am the son of the famous scriptwriter Sathyamoorthy. He is not only a scriptwriter. Even the lyricist. Even if a song has a beautiful tune, it is the lyrics that express it. In this way, lyricist Viveka has written all the songs of this film. My congratulations to her too.

I request everyone to visit the cinema hall to watch, enjoy and support the movie Thandel, which will be released in theaters all over the world on February 7th.

Actress Sai Pallavi said, ” Karthi sir – Venkat Prabhu sir who are here as special guests
Thank you to the director – Karthik Subbaraj sir. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come here and congratulate the film crew.

Director Sandhu adapted the story of the film Thandel from a true incident during the Covid period and told it in a 20-page story. He has transformed it into such a beautiful love story. He has worked hard for three years for this. The shooting took place for one and a half years. This journey is unforgettable.

My co-star Naga Chaitanya has given one and a half years for this character and has worked hard. Although he still has to work for this, he is ready for that too. Working with him again was an unforgettable experience.

The songs of this film are very popular among Telugu fans. My congratulations to the rock star DSP who worked for this.

My congratulations also to Karunakaran, who is making his debut in the Telugu film industry. I welcome him on behalf of the Telugu film industry. He has acted wonderfully even though he does not know the language during the shooting. I hope he will get a chance in Telugu too.

I have learned a lot during the one and a half years I have been working with the Thandel team. My best wishes to everyone. The film will be released on February 7th. Everyone should go to the theater and watch the film. I hope everyone likes it. ” He said.

Producer Allu Aravind said, ” I studied in Chennai. I went to Hyderabad only to earn a living. I did my graduation from the Chennai Government Arts College. After that, I started studying law at the Law College. After two years, I left without continuing my studies.

First of all, I would like to thank actor Karthi. Next, I would like to thank director Karthi Subbaraj and Venkat Prabhu.

Both Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi have worked hard in this film. ‘Thandel’ has emerged as a quality work.

Director Sandhu is an amazing talent. He has worked diligently and created Thandel. The story is short. But the way he presented it is excellent. We have bought the rights from 20 people for the story of this film. All those 20 people went to Pakistan and were imprisoned there and were later released. This is their story. The director has narrated it as a two-hour story. I once again thank director Sandhu for making this story into a wonderful work.

Music composer Devi Sri Prasad is like a son to me. I have known him since I was a child. I am asking him a question from here. How have you been continuously giving hit songs for 25 years? His father is a good friend of mine.

Karunakaran is making his Telugu debut with this film. His performance will be talked about in the film. My best wishes to Aadukalam Naren too.

When I decided to release this film in Tamil, the only person who came to my mind was S. R. Prabhu. I am happy that he is releasing this film in Tamil Nadu. I request everyone to support this film,” he said.

Actor Karthi said, “This is an important platform for me. I have received a lot of love from the Telugu film industry. I consider this an opportunity to repay that love.

It was only after I came here that Naga Chaitanya told me that this story was a true incident that happened in 2018. It was interesting to hear. Fishermen from our village go to the Pakistani border and get trapped. They go to Gujarat and while fishing in a boat, they cross the border and get trapped in Pakistan. Then how they escape from there is a beautiful love story that this film has been developed into.

No matter how big a thriller it is, even if it is Titanic, it needs a love story within it. That love is what stands out in the mind. If they have bought the rights from 20 people and presented it as a beautiful love story, how much confidence the producer must have in this story. They have been shooting for this film for a year and a half. Because of this, they are releasing this film all over India with confidence.

Director Sandhu Mondetti’s previous films have also been successful films. We have seen many films set against the backdrop of the sea. Now we are ready for a new experience again. I congratulate him for this.

Producer Allu Aravind is like Bhishma in the film world. Producers come and go in the film world. It is difficult to survive for a long time. Big companies have stopped producing films. In this environment, Allu Aravind is continuously producing films. He is known for producing films with business acumen.
He looks at Devi Sri Prasad and asks, “How have you been giving hits for so many years?” Similarly, I look at him and ask, “How have you been giving hit films continuously?” He has been producing films with different people… with different alliances… with great enthusiasm. He has produced films in all languages. His passion for cinema continues to amaze me to this day. When Tamil films are taken to the Telugu film industry and promoted, he keeps giving advice. How should a producer be… how much should he love his film… how should he take the film to the people… how should he protect the actors and actresses… how should he work from the time he starts producing the film to the time he takes it to the theatres for the fans… you should learn from him. I am very happy to know him. For this, I sincerely congratulate and thank him at this moment. I wish this film a huge success because of the faith he has in this film.

Karunakaran is making his Telugu debut with this film. He is also a wonderful actor. I wish him success in Telugu too.

My congratulations to Aadukalam Naren. They have consistently given him serious roles and made him a serious actor. But he can also do comedy wonderfully. He would have mixed comedy in the film All in All Azhugaraja.

When I went to Turkey, DSP songs were playing there too. This is the fame he has got. He always keeps working. If you go to his studio.. he only talks about music. He belongs to this country. They are always full of energy. That is why I love him a lot. The songs in this film are also wonderful. I congratulate him too. All the music composers, if they get a love story, they will showcase their talent. DSP has showcased his talent in this film too and made all the songs a hit.

Sai Pallavi is very special. He keeps on showing his talent in every role he plays. Even if it is love… he will pour love into it and solve it. That is why all the youth are crazy about you. Don’t even talk about dancing. Even if it is to convey pain, you leave a mark on it. The experience of playing a role beyond your age is also different.

I have talked to you after watching the movie Amaran. What is the sacrifice of an army officer’s wife? The public does not know. The way you described it in the movie Amaran made us understand their pain. Thank you for this.

I know Naga Chaitanya, his grandfather. I know Nagarjuna after him. After watching the movie ‘Idayathai Thirudaye’… he started dressing like him… and running like him.
Many people tried so hard. But no one could do it in the style he did. He did not know how to speak beautifully like him. I have worked with him in a Telugu movie.

When I went there and participated in the shooting, he would look at every detail and do it. He would take such care of it. He is unparalleled in showering love. It has been 10 years since I worked with him. However, he knows what film I am currently working on. He will tell me to watch that film. If I watch a film and like it, he will immediately tweet. I don’t know what to do in return for him who has always shown me love like this.

When I first saw Naga Chaitanya on screen, I thought they were pressuring a shy young man to act..! But there was an innocence in his face
. Many women admire that innocence. I liked his innocence too. I liked his father too. I liked his grandfather too.

Naga Chaitanya is interested in working hard. His growth is visible in every film. He has changed his body shape for a year and a half for this film. Hard work never goes in vain. This film will be the right reward for your hard work. I am sure that this film will be a big success in Tamil as well.

“There are many positive aspects like Viveka- Devi Sri Prasad’s hit songs- Sai Pallavi’s look- Aadhi Samvam- Pudhu Idea- I wish this film a big success,” he said.

Actor Naga Chaitanya said, “I am very happy. Chennai has always been special to me. I will always wait for the love and support of the Chennai fans.

Actor Kar for releasing the preview of the film
I express my gratitude to Thi. I have watched the film ‘Meiyazhagan’ in which he acted in the theatre and enjoyed it. I am also amazed by his emotional performance in it.

My father always tells me. If you are going to Chennai, tell him. I will call Karthik and tell him.’ That is how close Karthik is to our family.

I also express my gratitude to director Venkat Prabhu. He is the one who introduced me professionally to Tamil fans. I also express my gratitude to you for coming here. Thank you for coming to Hyderabad and meeting me, telling me the story and convincing me to act.

Thank you to Karthik Subbaraj. I am eagerly waiting for the film ‘Retro’ that will be released under your direction.

The beginning of the film Thandel is when Iyak Sandhu met me and told me a small idea about a true incident in a documentary style. It involves a long journey from a village called Srikakulam to Gujarat and then a year and a half to Pakistan and back. As an actor, I was surprised after hearing that true story.

After that, I went to Srikakulam and met the fishermen living in the village and got to know their way of life. That journey was unforgettable. That experience was also unforgettable.

Such an opportunity is very rare. I changed myself for this. We have made this because the fans will definitely like such a story. The fishermen of Srikakulam are the real heroes of the film.

I also thank the producers Bunny Vas and Allu Aravind. After my third film, 100% Love, I am again working with producer Allu Aravind. I am waiting with confidence that this film will also be a big success.

In every love story film, the songs should be hits. In this too, Rock Star Devi Sri Prasad has made all the songs hits. I thank him for this too. He not only composed the music for the songs for this film but also visited the set and encouraged me while the songs were being performed.

Sai Pallavi is special to me as everyone says. Every actor, every director, every technician will talk about you. Everyone is your fan. Working with you is a pleasant experience. I would like to thank him at this moment.

This film is being released in Tamil by producer S. R. Prabhu under the banner of Dream Warrior Pictures. I would like to thank him for this too. He and I have discussed many stories. I hope we will work together soon.

Although he did not act with Karunakaran in this film, his contribution was good. I would also like to thank him at this moment.

The film Thandel will be released in theaters on February 7th. I request everyone to visit the theater, watch it, enjoy it and support it,” he said.
