Akkineni Naga Chaitanya’s rural entertainer ‘Thandel’, the story of which is said to be inspired by real life incidents in a fisherman’s brave journey during the 1970s, has been making strong waves from the day of its announcement. One of the reasons for the positive buzz on the film is the solid pairing of Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi and the impressive first teaser which gave a peek into the grandeur of this rustic drama.
From the past few days, there have been numerous speculations over the release date of this Chandoo Mondeti directional. Putting an end to all the suspense surrounding the release plans, the team has officially announced February 7th as the original date. Producer Allu Arvind and the core team of Thandel addressed a media interaction just a while ago in Hyderabad and ended the suspense through this announcement.
Allu Arvind revealed that they never intended to release Thandel during Sankranti season as many other biggies have already announced their arrival during the festival season well in advance. He further added that they decided to follow the equations with all Sankranti releases and locked Feburary 7th to avoid any further controversy with them. Surprisingly, the team skipped Republic day, which is an ideal date after Sankranti, and locked and unconventional February month for its release.
On this occasion, a new poster featuring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in a close embrace feeling the warmth of one another surrounded by the sea of love amidst choppy waves is unveiled. The producer stated that another 20 days shoot is left and the entire filming will be done by December.
