After a break, Naga Chaitanya is finally in the thick of action for the first ever bilingual in his career, simultaneously being made in Telugu and Tamil by Mankatha director Venkat Prabhu. Commemorating the birthday of Naga Chaitanya's grandpa and Telugu legend ANR earlier this week, the makers announced the commencement of the film in Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad. Krithi Shetty is cast as the leading lady in the film produced by Srinivasaa Chitturi under Srinivasaa Silver Screen.
Earlier today, the team of NC22 announced the famed technical crew who'd be a part of the project. While it was confirmed that Yuvan Shankar Raja and Ilaiyaraaja would jointly compose for the film, SR Kathir was announced as the cinematographer of the same today. NC22 will be edited by Venkat Raajen with Rajeevan handling production design. As announced before, Abburi Ravi would be penning the dialogues for the Telugu version.
Dy Satyanarayana is the art director for the film with Yannick Ben, the international technician, on board for his stunt choreography in collaboration with Mahesh Mathew. Pavan Kumar is the presenter of NC22. The producers were in the news for several films recently, notably the Gopichand starrer Seetimaarr, Ram Pothineni's Tamil-Telugu bilingual The Warriorr and an upcoming pan Indian film to be directed by Boyapati Sreenu (also starring Ram).
Naga Chaitanya had three releases this year - Bangarraju, Thank You and Laal Singh Chaddha. Bangarraju, the sequel to Nagarjuna's hit Soggade Chinni Nayana, is now streaming on ZEE5. Thank You, for which he reunited with Manam filmmaker Vikram K Kumar, can be watched on Amazon Prime Video. Laal Singh Chaddha, the Hindi remake of the Hollywood hit Forrest Gump, marked his Bollywood debut. NC22 isn't only the Tamil debut for Naga Chaitanya but also the Telugu debut for Venkat Prabhu as well.
