Telugu actor Naga Chaitanya, along with filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti and producer Bunny Vas visited a village in Srikakulam to meet the fishermen community for his upcoming film, tentatively titled NC 23. The interaction was a part of the film’s team preparation to observe the culture and lifestyle of the community.
The film marks the third collaboration between Chaitanya and Chandoo after Premam (2016) and Savyasachi (2018). Chandoo’s previous release was Karthikeya 2, which was highly successful at the box office.
Chaitanya told the media, “Chandoo narrated the storyline 6 months ago. I got very excited. He developed the story based on real incidents. Vas and Chandoo have been traveling for two years to work on the story. The story was so inspiring. We came here to know the lifestyle of fishermen, their body language, and also the texture of the village. The pre-production works begin today.”
The film is being produced by Geetha Arts.
Chaitanya will be next seen in the Amazon Prime Video series, Dhootha.
