Naga Chaitanya’s new film titled Thank You, announced on father Nagarjuna’s birthday

Actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is all set to team up with filmmaker Vikram Kumar for his upcoming Telugu film Thank You. The project was announced on Saturday on the occasion of Akkineni Nagarjuna’s birthday.

Announcing the project, Chaitanya wrote on Twitter: “Thank You. An expression that can be forgotten or when used right can mean more than any other there is. Thank You Movie. A story I’m looking forward to tell! With a team I’m really thankful I met.”

The project will mark the second time Naga Chaitanya will be working with Vikram Kumar after Manam (2014). That film had also featured Naga Chaitanya's father Nagarjuna and grandfather the late Akkineni Nageswara Rao in key roles.

Meanwhile, Naga Chaitanya will return to the sets of his upcoming Telugu release Love Story (2020) from 6 September. The team is all set to resume shooting.

Love Story, directed by Sekhar Kammula, marks the maiden collaboration of Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. However, Kammula and Sai Pallavi are working together for the second time. The latter made her Telugu debut via Fidaa (2017), which also starred Varun Tej and was a blockbuster.

Talking about the project, Kammula told The Times of India newspaper in a recent interview: “It's a love story of a boy and girl who move to the city from their village to pursue their dreams.” He went on to reveal that the film would see Chaitanya speak in the Telangana dialect.

"Naga Chaitanya has been trying to master the Telangana dialect for his part. He has completely surrendered himself with great interest to pull off his part. Also, Sai Pallavi could spring a surprise for the audience. I believe the lead pair's performances will stand out,” Kammula said.

The film, being produced by Ram Mohan Rao, will be wrapped up in three schedules. The project went on the floors last September and is now on the verge of being completed.
