Naga Chaitanya is steadily ascending towards the peak of success with consecutive film hits. Currently engrossed in promoting his upcoming survival drama ‘Thandel’, set to release on February 7, the actor recently attended its trailer launch alongside notable figures from the film industry. A viral video from the event captures Chay making a significant announcement about a potential collaboration with filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj in the near future.

When asked about the possibility of joining the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), Naga Chaitanya expressed enthusiastic interest. He remarked, “Of course, I would love to be a part of it.”

For those unfamiliar, the LCU features prominent names from South cinema, including Karthi, Kamal Haasan, Suriya, and Thalapathy Vijay. These stars have delivered blockbuster hits like ‘Kaithi’, ‘Vikram’, ‘Rolex’, and ‘Leo’ within the interconnected universe of LCU.

Returning to ‘Thandel’, the film is presented by Allu Aravind and directed by Chandoo Mondeti. It unfolds against the backdrop of the fishermen community in the Srikakulam region.

The film’s storyline revolves around a fisherman who, during a routine fishing expedition, finds himself adrift in Pakistani waters, facing unforeseen hardships. What ensues is a gripping tale of vengeance and determination as he strives to return home to his motherland and reunite with his loved ones.

Alongside Naga Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi portrays the film’s leading lady. The trailer has garnered a positive reception from fans, heightening anticipation for an engaging cinematic experience in theaters.
