Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s just-released romantic drama, Thandel, has emerged as a massive success. The movie has grossed over Rs 50 crore within 3 days and has set its eyes on the Rs 100 crore club next. And going by the trade reports, the film’s Sunday collection is going to be humongous.
And Chay’s father, Nagarjuna, is a happy man with his son’s success. Nag took to X on Sunday evening and wrote, “Dear @chay_akkineni, Proud of you my son! I have watched you push boundaries, face challenges, and give your heart to the craft. Thandel is not just another film—it is a testament to your relentless passion, your courage to dream big, and your hard work.”
Nag also had a few nice things to say about the Akkineni fans. “You have stood by us like family, and Thandel’s success is as much yours as it is ours. Thank you for your endless love and support! Gratitude.” Nag went on to thank Thandel producers Allu Aravind and Bunny Vas. “Congratulations to the amazingly talented @Sai_Pallavi92 you never cease to amaze, the genius @ThisIsDSP you rock, the Raising Star director @chandoomondeti and the fabulous #Thandel team for making this moment unforgettable,” Nag concluded.
