Naga Chaitanya's highly anticipated film Thandel's release may be postponed due to Allu Arjun's ongoing case, according to trade sources. Initially scheduled for February 7, the new potential release date is April. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel stars Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in lead roles.
Despite generating buzz, Thandel's promotional activities have been impacted by Allu Arjun's case. The film's team, including producer Allu Aravind, had planned to commence promotions in December. However, the controversy surrounding Allu Arjun has caused uncertainty.
Thandel's storyline, inspired by true events, revolves around a Srikakulam fisherman arrested by the Pakistan Navy in 2018. Naga Chaitanya revealed the film explores the fisherman's girlfriend's struggle to secure his release from a Pakistani jail.
As Thandel's release hangs in balance, fans eagerly await clarification. Will the postponement affect the film's box office prospects? How will Naga Chaitanya's portrayal of this patriotic love story resonate with audiences?
