In the latest update, the makers of the film have revealed the official title of the film as Thandel, which is also the name of Naga Chaitanya’s character in the film. They also shared the first look poster of the film.
Naga Chaitanya to play the leader of the fisherfolk
In the first look poster, Naga Chaitanya can be seen in a rugged boat, in what seems to be a deadly storm. The actor holds a row in his hand, and can be seen in a simple brown vest and pants. From the caption, as well as from the poster, it was evident that Chay would be playing a leader of the fishermen community. The poster was shared via the official X (formerly Twitter) handle of the makers, with the caption: “A leader is born to ride against the tide and time for his people; @chay_akkineni in and as #Thandel; The Birthday Celebrations of Yuvasamrat begin early” Check out the poster below:
