Naga Chaitanya will next be seen in ‘Thank You, which is scheduled to hit the theaters on July 22nd. Directed by Vikram Kumar, the film has Naga Chaitanya playing Abhi Ram. The film chronicles three stages of Abhi Ram’s life.
He appears as a teenager in a portion of the story. “To look like a 16-year-old teenager, Naga Chaitanya underwent rigorous training. Lost weight with a special diet. He was on this diet for nearly 50 days,” says director Vikram Kumar.
“Chaitanya is best suited for this role as he looks believable as a 16-year-old, a 22-year-old youngster as well a 34-year-old man. He changed his body and appearance accordingly,” Vikram Kumar added.
No graphics or prosthetics were used for any of these appearances, he said.
Written by BVS Ravi, ‘Thank You’ has Malvika Nair, Raashi Khanna, and Avika Gor as the female lead. The film is bankrolled by Dil Raju and Shirish under the Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.
