November 23, 2024: Naga Chaitanya has had a busy year, both personally and professionally. On his birthday, he made a special announcement, revealing his new film, NC24, which promises to be an exhilarating mix of mythology and suspense.
The film’s poster shows Chaitanya standing on a rock inside a cave, with mountaineering gear in hand, hinting at a thrilling adventure that blends mythical elements with a sense of danger. In his Instagram post, Chaitanya expressed his excitement to work with director Karthik, calling the project a journey “into mythical thrills & shivers.”
Fans flocked to social media to wish him on his special day, with many showering him with love and blessings. One user wished him well for both NC23 (presumably referring to another project) and NC24, while others simply wrote their birthday greetings.
On a personal note, Chaitanya is also in the news for his upcoming wedding to actress Sobhita Dhulipala. The couple got engaged in a private ceremony in August 2024 in Hyderabad, and their pre-wedding festivities are already underway. Sobhita shared beautiful pictures from their Pasupu Danchadam ceremony on Instagram, capturing the intimate and joyous moments. The engagement was officially announced by Naga Chaitanya’s father, veteran actor Nagarjuna, who expressed his happiness in a heartfelt post.
Chaitanya’s previous marriage to actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu ended in a mutual separation in 2021, and since then, he and Sobhita have kept their relationship largely private. Despite the media attention, they have maintained a low-key profile.
Professionally, Chaitanya is gearing up for the release of Thandel, a romantic drama alongside Sai Pallavi. Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel is inspired by real events from a village in Andhra Pradesh and is set for a worldwide release on February 7, 2025. The film has already generated buzz, with fans eagerly awaiting the reunion of Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, who previously starred together in the hit Love Story (2021). The movie also boasts an impressive technical team, including composer Devi Sri Prasad and cinematographer Shamdat.
Chaitanya’s year ahead looks exciting both personally and professionally, with NC24 and Thandel building anticipation among his fans.
