The mystic thriller is being directed by Karthik Varma Dandu and is being made on a massive scale. Naga Chaitanya sports a new look, and this will be the first time he will romance Meenakshi Chaudhary. The shooting of this yet-untitled film kicked off a few days ago at Hyderabad's Annapurna Studios. A massive set was erected, and the media were allowed to get a glimpse of it.
As the film is a mystic thriller, a rocky mountain set has been built by the makers, and it looks top-notch. On the other hand, Meenakshi Chaudhary will be seen as an archaeologist in the film, and the same character is being reprised by Naga Chaitanya as well.
Speaking in an interview, Meenakshi said, “I was blown away by Karthik Dandu’s narration and even more stunned by the massive cave set. This is the biggest film of my career in terms of scale and budget. I’ve been wanting to do films that offer a complete cinematic experience, and NC24 is a step in that direction.”
Naga Chaitanya is riding high on the success of his last film Thandel, which also had Fidaa star Sai Pallavi as the female lead. Chay's performance in the film was widely praised, and he says that he is excited to team up with Meenakshi Chaudhary.

BVSN Prasad, who made hit films like Tholi Prema, is producing this film on a massive scale. Be it budget or scale, NC24 is the biggest film in both Naga Chaitanya's and Meenakshi’s careers. Along with this film, Meenakshi has also signed a project with a top star, which will be announced soon.
