About Thandel Movie
Chaitanya portrays Raju, a fisherman who, before going fishing near Gujarat, is made thandel (a captain of a fishing ship). He affectionately refers to his beloved Satya as bujji thalli (loved one), and Pallavi portrays her. While both reviewers and viewers gave the movie mixed reviews, Chaitanya and Sai won accolades for their performances.
The movie, which was slated to be released last year but was delayed to take advantage of Valentine's Day, was presented by Allu Aravind and produced by Bunny Vas under the banner of Geetha Arts. Chaitanya's biggest opener is Thandel. The movie is based on a real story about fishermen from Srikakulam who were arrested after inadvertently drifting into Pakistani waters.
