The makers of the upcoming romantic action drama Thandel announced that its first single, titled ‘Bujji Thalli’, will be out on November 21. Being promoted as “The love song of the year,” the makers express confidence that the intense love tune will stay for a long time in playlists. The film starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles got its release date recently, which is February 7, 2025. 

Thandel is a love story set along the Srikakulam coast, with Naga Chaitanya portraying a fisherman captured by the Pakistani army. Sai Pallavi, fresh from the success of her Tamil film Amaran, plays the romantic interest for Naga Chaitanya in Thandel. The film is written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti, known for the National Award-winning Karthikeya 2. The love story is presented by Geetha Arts and produced by Allu Aravind and Bunny Vas. Renowned composer Devi Sri Prasad has crafted the film’s score, while Shamdat handles cinematography and Srinagendra Tangala serves as production designer.

Thandel marks the second collaboration between Naga Chaitanya and director Chandoo Mondeti, following their 2016 project Premam, an official remake of the Malayalam film of the same name. Initially, the film was planned for a Sankranti release but was later pushed.
