Naga Chaitanya had a string of flops and put immense effort into Thandel to score a hit.
The film brought him the much-needed relief. Overjoyed with the collections from the first four days, the entire team celebrated in a grand way.
Naga Chaitanya attended the success celebrations with his wife, Sobhita. This marked his first public appearance with her at a movie event.
Naga Chaitanya’s father, actor Nagarjuna Akkineni, hinted that Sobhita might have brought luck to his son.
He remarked that Sobhita’s "vela vishesham" (good fortune) could be one of the reasons for the film’s success.
Sobhita and Naga Chaitanya got married on December 4, 2024, and Thandel is Naga Chaitanya’s first release after their wedding.
