The makers of the much-anticipated pan-Indian film Thandel, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, announced that the third single from the film titled ‘Hilesso Hilessa’ will be out on January 23. The team billed the song as another blockbuster love song. The film’s music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad and the first single ‘Bujji Thalli’ became a chartbuster, clocking more than 54 million views on YouTube and prompting the makers to release its video version. ‘Hilesso Hilessa’ has vocals by Shreya Ghoshal and Aziz Nakash. 

Thandel is a love story set along the Srikakulam coast, with Naga Chaitanya portraying a fisherman captured by the Pakistani army. Sai Pallavi is said to be playing an equally powerful role in the film. Written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti, known for the National Award winning Karthikeya 2. The pan-Indian film is presented by Geetha Arts and produced by Allu Aravind and Bunny Vas. Shamdat cranked the camera while Srinagendra Tangala served 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 classic Malayalam film of the same name. The pan-Indian film is releasing on February 7.
