Naga Chaitanya was last seen in “Thandel”, which delivered a mixed result. The film performed strongly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana but ended up as a flop in North America.
Despite the divided outcome, he has chosen to continue backing big-budget spectacles and is currently working on “Vrushakarma”, directed by Karthik Dandu. The project has been in production for some time, and the first glimpse video is expected to be unveiled soon. However, the film’s release is slated only for the second half of 2026.
Meanwhile, his team and fans have shifted focus to his milestone 25th film. As his ongoing project marks his 24th, speculation is rife about the landmark venture. Several names are being floated, including Koratala Siva, Venky Atluri, and Sekhar Kammula.
At the same time, fans claim that top filmmakers are keen to collaborate with him, while trolls counter with exaggerated pairings, jokingly linking him with directors like S. S. Rajamouli, Sukumar, and Trivikram Srinivas.
In today’s scenario, generating genuine hype around films and future line-ups has become increasingly challenging for actors and their teams.
