“Finally, you’ll shave your beard”: Sobhita on Naga Chaitanya’s look as Thandel releases
Hyderabad: Today is a memorable day for actor Naga Chaitanya as his much-anticipated film Thandel opens in theaters. The romantic drama marks a new chapter in his career and has generated immense buzz. The excitement is palpable, especially within his close circle.
Among the first to express her support and joy was Naga Chaitanya's wife, actress Sobhita Dhulipala. Taking to Instagram, she shared a heartfelt story ahead of the film’s release, writing, “Excitement is high for Thandel release tomorrow! I have seen you be so focused and positive through the making of this film, can’t wait for everyone (and myself) to experience this extraordinary love story in theaters from tomorrow.”
In a playful moment, Sobhita also teased her husband about his on-screen look. “Finally, you will shave your beard... it’s the first time your face will be revealed, Lord. @chayakkineni,” she posted, adding a light-hearted touch to the moment.
Naga Chaitanya, ever the doting husband, responded warmly to her post with, “Thank you, my bujjithalli,” showcasing the warmth and camaraderie between the two.
For Naga Chaitanya, Thandel is more than just a professional milestone; it’s a personal journey. During the trailer launch event in Visakhapatnam, Chaitanya spoke fondly about his connection to the city. “How close is Vizag to me? I loved a Vizag girl, married a Vizag girl, and now, at home, I have Vizag, and the ruling party in my home is Vizag,” he shared, with a smile, referring to Sobhita, who hails from Visakhapatnam.
Adding a touch of humor to the event, the actor jokingly said, “Thandel collections should do well; otherwise, I will lose my respect at home.”
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel explores the gripping story of fishermen from Srikakulam who accidentally drift into Pakistani waters during a routine fishing trip. The film blends themes of love, revenge, courage, and patriotism, with Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi playing the lead roles. Produced by Bunny Vasu under Geetha Arts, the film has captured the attention of fans who are eagerly waiting to experience the unfolding drama on the big screen.
With Thandel now in theaters, the film marks an exciting moment for both Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi.
