Naga Chaitanya, the renowned Telugu actor, has been meticulously selecting his projects and is currently focused on his acting career. Exciting news for his fans as he gears up for his 23rd film, where he will reunite with the talented director Chandoo Mondeti, known for their previous collaboration on the hit film “Premam.” The highly anticipated project, tentatively titled “NC 23,” is being produced by Bunny Vas for the prestigious banner Geetha Arts.

The duo has wasted no time and is already engrossed in preparing for this ambitious film. Recently, Naga Chaitanya and Chandoo Mondeti visited the serene K Matchilesam village in Srikakulam. However, it wasn’t just a casual visit; it was an essential part of their preparation process for “NC 23.” They spent quality time with the fisherman families of the village, immersing themselves in the culture, lifestyle, and essence of the land.

Naga Chaitanya, renowned for his dedication to his craft, has embraced a profoundly grounded approach to his character in the film. Reports suggest that he will be portraying a young man hailing from a fisherman community in a quaint Andhra Pradesh town. To truly understand the intricacies of his role, the actor has been leaving no stone unturned. His visit to K Matchilesam village and interactions with the fishermen and their families demonstrate his commitment to bringing authenticity and depth to his character.

In a media interaction, Naga Chaitanya shared his excitement about “NC 23” and working with director Chandoo Mondeti again. He revealed that Chandoo narrated the storyline to him six months ago, and he was immediately captivated by it. The film’s plot is developed based on real incidents, a testament to the hard work and dedication of the director and producer Bunny Vas, who have spent two years refining the story. The journey to create this film has been an inspiring one, and the pre-production work has already commenced.

Director Chandoo Mondeti, equally thrilled about the project, shed light on its genesis. The story, born from a real incident that occurred in 2018, was initially narrated to Allu Aravind Garu and Bunny Vas Garu by a local storyteller named Karthik. Chandoo’s excitement upon hearing the story was palpable, and the duo has since invested two years in crafting a compelling script. With Chaitanya’s approval and enthusiasm for the story, they decided to start the film’s pre-production in the very village where the real incident unfolded, adding a layer of authenticity to their narrative.

As fans eagerly await further updates on “NC 23,” it is evident that both Naga Chaitanya and Chandoo Mondeti are dedicated to delivering a cinematic masterpiece.
