Akkineni scion Naga Chaitanya, who is carrying forward the legacy of his family after his father Akkineni Nagarjuna, is unlike other star kids in Tollywood. He never runs after blockbuster directors and larger-than-life scripts with huge budget. But he always strives to attempt novel scripts and never shies away from taking up challenging roles irrespective of the box office results.
Chay, as he is fondly referred by his admirers, is turning 38 today. This birthday is going to be a special one for him because he battled a lot of personal trauma in the last three years after announcing separation from his former wife and finally decided to move on into a new relationship with his girlfriend Sobhita Dhulipala in a few more days from now.
Chaitu’s down-to-earth attitude and humble nature keeps him away from controversies. He always tries to stay away from the limelight and maintain a low profile despite his star status. He is always open to experiment and encourage new directors who want to try something unique.
Professionally, the last couple of years haven’t offered much cheer for Chaitanya. But, he is confident about making a strong comeback with his upcoming film Thandel in which plays a character inspired by real life incidents. Thandel is billed as a rural drama set in the backdrop of a fisherman’s life with a tinge of patriotic drama.
A lot of positivity is surrounding Thandel because of the solid combination and the impressive content in the teasers. The first single turned out to be a chartbuster and augmented the expectations.
Naga Chaitanya needs a massive hit with Thandel because he has been waiting for that one big break to give a huge filip to his career and consolidate his box-office potential. We have wait till February 7th to find out the result.
Meanwhile, it’s happy birthday to Naga Chaitanya.
