Chaitanya recently spoke about Thandel, working with Sobhita

Recently speaking with news agency PTI, Chaitanya spoke about the film. The actor had said he spent two years preparing for the role of the fisherman named Raju. He added that he worked on his physical appearance and nuances to get the body language of a fisherman right. “I stayed with this character for the longest time. We did a lot of workshops to work on these details. We didn’t rush into this film. I dedicated two years to this film, there were no other commitments that I took up. This is the longest time I’ve spent on a film.”

On a query about teaming up with his Sobhita, Chaitanya said they are waiting for the “right” script to come their way. He had also added that if they "get something that we both resonate with, then why not?”

About Thandel

The film, a romance drama, is directed by Chandoo Mondeti. The film revolves around a fisherman who gets lost at sea and inadvertently drifts into Pakistani waters, leading to his capture and imprisonment in a Pakistani jail.

Apart from Chaitanya, Sai Pallavi also stars in the film. Thandel is produced by Bunny Vasu under Geetha Arts and presented by veteran producer Allu Aravind. Chaitanya's Thandel will release in theatres on February 7.
