After captivating audiences with their mesmerising performances and on-screen chemistry in Sekhar Kammula’s musical romantic-drama Love Story (2021), actors Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi are gearing up to collaborate on the big screen once again, this time in a patriotic actioner.
Helmed by Chandoo Mondeti, renowned for Premam and the Karthikeya franchise, Thandel revolves around a fisherman who, along with 21 others, is detained in Pakistan. The 131-second teaser, released by the filmmakers on Saturday, provides a glimpse into the grandeur of Thandel’s world. Opening with Naga Chaitanya in a never-seen-before avatar on a boat in the middle of the sea, the teaser swiftly cuts to a shot of the Indian flag flying high as Chay’s dialogue voiceover in the background, “From now on, we shall truly revel.” This is accompanied by a powerful background score.
Despite being detained at the Karachi Central Jail in Pakistan and questioned by an Army official, Chay’s character responds resolutely. “Your land is a charitable piece from us. If you have this much attitude, just imagine our demeanour, who gave alms,” he retorts, concluding with a spirited “Bharat Mata Ki Jai”.

Towards the promo’s conclusion, the force behind Chay’s courage is revealed to be none other than Sai Pallavi. “My dear, I’ll be back soon. Please smile for me, will you,” he requests, as she graciously smiles.
Sharing the glimpse video on X (formerly Twitter), Chay noted, “Here it is! Essence of Thandel. Thank you Chandoo Mondeti for this innovative one and building Thandel Raju for me and Allu Aravind and Bunny Vas for this opportunity. Ika Rajulamma jatharae.”
The tagline for the film reads, “The one who anchors his crew, his love, and his people; and won’t care to sacrifice his life.” Bankrolled by Bunny Vasu and presented by Allu Aravind, Thandel’s music is crafted by National Award-winning composer Devi Sri Prasad, while its cinematography is handled by Shamdat and editing by Navin Nooli.
