Naga Chaitanya begins shoot for his first pan-India film NC 24
Naga Chaitanya is set for his first pan-India film, tentatively titled 'NC 24'. After a successful outing with the hit film 'Thandel', the actor is now taking on a visually grand, culturally rooted fantasy film, produced by BVSN Prasad and directed by Karthik Dandu of 'Virupaksha' fame. The actor began the shoot of the film, and also shared the first-look poster. Take a look at 'NC 24' poster: Described as an ambitious project that blends mythology, history, and action, 'NC 24' is said to revolve around ancient prophecies and royal lineages clashing with present-day realities. The storyline follows a treasure hunter, an archaeologist, and a history student who must confront the forces of destiny and evil in a race against time, as they face an impending apocalypse. The film will reportedly feature intense action sequences, a heavy dose of visual effects, and mythological references from the Dark Ages and the Kalyuga. Speaking about the project, Naga Chaitanya shared his enthusiasm and said, "I believe 'NC 24' has the potential to connect with a very wide audience. The story is universal in its themes of good versus evil and the fight against destiny, and the visual scale of the film is something I'm incredibly excited for audiences to experience." The team is aiming for a pan-India reach, with the film being released in multiple languages. The blend of cultural elements with a modern fantasy narrative is expected to appeal to audiences across the country and even overseas. It was also said that Sparsh Shrivastava might join Chaitanya in the film. The makers also released a promotional video that displayed the behind-the-scenes work put in by the team before starting shoots. Naga Chaitanya was last seen in 'Thandel', a patriotic action drama directed by Chandoo Mondeti. Starring alongside Sai Pallavi, the film was inspired by a real-life incident involving Indian fishermen who were captured and imprisoned in Pakistan. 'Thandel' received praise for its emotional depth, action sequences, and portrayal of patriotism.
