Just two years after Custody, Naga Chaitanya will make his comeback with Thandel. This is his second film with Sai Pallavi; their last collaboration was Love Story. Aamir Khan revealed the Hindi trailer of the film in Mumbai, respectively, has already won over audiences with their enthusiastic support for Thandel, which will be released in Telugu, Tamil, and Hindi.
In an interview with News18, Chaitanya expressed his appreciation by saying that he feels truly glad and fortunate to have these relationships. Aamir has been such an influential part of his journey. They co-starred in his Bollywood debut, Laal Singh Chaddha. Although Chay's time with Aamir in Laal Singh Chaddha was brief, he gleaned a tremendous deal of knowledge about the superstar and the film. That one event summed up everything he learnt in his entire career. Both as a person and an actor, Aamir has been an incredible inspiration to Chaitanya.
The Majili actor says when asked about his continued connection with Aamir after three years that he has definitely kept in touch with him. On several occasions, Chay keeps messaging his Laal Singh Chaddha co-star. He never leaves his thoughts. Although Chaitanya's communication may be minimal due to his introversion, he is always keeping up with his work and activities, and he contacts Aamir whenever he can.
On February 7, Loveyapa (starring Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan) and Thandel both hit theatres. The fact that Junaid auditioned for the role of the lead in Laal Singh Chaddha is mostly unknown. On the subject of Junaid, Chaitanya revealed that he met the young actor too during the shoot of Laal Singh Chaddha. Chay prayed that Junaid may achieve enormous success, as he's incredibly gifted and yet incredibly modest. Loveyapa has a lot of ties to Chaitanya's past since its director, Advait Chandan, was also responsible for Laal Singh Chaddha. He is really hoping they win.
