Naga Chaitanya is now working on his biggest project to date, Thandel. The romantic entertainer blended with patriotic elements features dancing sensation Sai Pallavi as the female lead. This is the lead pair’s second film together after Love Story. Chandoo Mondeti is handling the direction. The movie is based on a few real-life incidents. Initially, the makers planned to release the movie on December 20.

However, Game Changer’s producer, Dil Raju, stated that the movie would be out in theatres during Christmas 2024. This has put Thandel’s release in a dilemma. As per the latest buzz, the team of Thandel will play the waiting game to decide on the release date. Till now, 75% of the shoot is said to have been completed, and makers will reportedly break the pumpkin on November 30.

As per the gossip, Thandel will be pushed to Sankranthi 2025 if Game Changer arrives for Christmas this year. If Game Changer doesn’t make it to the Christmas season, Thandel will release as per the initial plan. The buzz also had it that the team is considering a Shiva Rathri release if the Christmas and Sankranthi seasons are overcrowded. Let’s see what happens. Bunny Vas is producing Thandel on a massive budget. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the tunes.
