Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi’s film ‘Thandel’ opened on February 7 and has grossed over Rs 100 crore globally in just 10 days, marking Chaitanya’s first film to achieve this milestone. The Telugu version has been particularly successful. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the film is based on a true 2018 incident involving fishermen from Srikakulam.
