The trailer for Thandel, the upcoming pan-Indian film written and directed by Chandoo Mondeti, was unveiled on Tuesday at a grand event in Visakhapatnam. Starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, the film is slated for release on February 7 in major pan-Indian languages.

The trailer begins with tender moments between Raju (Naga Chaitanya) and Bujji Thalli (Sai Pallavi) before shifting to Raju’s journey overseas to protect his community. The stakes rise as Raju and his crew are captured by the Pakistani army, setting the stage for a tale of love, patriotism, and heroism amidst cross-border tensions. The film’s title, Thandel, is explained in the trailer as “the one who anchors his crew, love, and people, willing to sacrifice his life.”

Thandel brings together Chandoo Mondeti, known for his National Award-winning Karthikeya 2, and Naga Chaitanya, marking their second collaboration after the 2016 film Premam. With cinematography by Shamdat, production design by Srinagendra Tangala, and music by Devi Sri Prasad, the film is generating significant anticipation.

Thandel promises a mix of emotional depth and high-stakes drama as it prepares to hit screens next month.
