Both Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi are playing rustic roles in the upcoming film Thandel being helmed by Chandoo Mondeti.
The film is based on real incidents and the team is making sure everything looks authentic, including the looks of the lead actors.
From their get-ups to costumes, Chay and Pallavi can be seen in surprising rural avatars in these working stills from the ongoing Hyderabad schedule.
While Chay sports a rugged look with long hair and a thick beard, Sai Pallavi is seen wearing simple attire to look perfectly like a village girl.
In one of the pictures, Chandoo Mondeti is seen explaining a scene to Chay and producer Allu Aravind with a set model in front of him.
Thandel produced by Bunny Vasu with Allu Aravind as a presenter is a rustic love drama laced with patriotic elements.
The movie is being made ambitiously on a high budget with high technical standards.
