Chandoo Mondeti Plots a Course for Megastar Chiranjeevi: "Thandel" Director Aims for Ambitious Collaboration.
Chandoo Mondeti, a director known for his versatility and knack for captivating stories, is making waves in the Telugu film industry. His impressive filmography, starting with the critically acclaimed mystery thriller "Karthikeya," has showcased his ability to navigate diverse genres with aplomb. He followed this success with a successful remake of the classic "Premam," adding his own unique touch to the narrative, and then bounced back from "Savyasachi" with the pan-India blockbuster "Karthikeya 2."
Now, Chandoo Mondeti is gearing up for the release of "Thandel," an intriguing film based on the lives of fishermen, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi. But his sights are set even higher. Reports indicate that the director is in talks with Megastar Chiranjeevi for a potential collaboration.
Mondeti's friendship with Nikhil, who is currently working under Ram Charan's production banner, has given him access to Chiranjeevi. While details of the proposed project are yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that discussions are underway.
"Thandel," produced by Allu Aravind, is currently in production. The film's release date may be affected by the December releases of "Game Changer" (Balakrishna's 109th film) and "Pushpa 2," potentially leading to a preponement or postponement.
In the meantime, Chandoo Mondeti is also considering "Karthikeya 3," while Nikhil is busy with his own projects, "Swayambhu" and "The India House."
Megastar Chiranjeevi, after "Vishwambhara," is yet to confirm his next project, with Harish Shankar reportedly being the frontrunner. The Megastar is expected to announce his decision on his birthday, August 22nd.
With his talent, vision, and growing reputation, Chandoo Mondeti's potential collaboration with Chiranjeevi is a promising prospect for Telugu cinema. The industry is eagerly awaiting news of this exciting partnership, which could potentially lead to a cinematic masterpiece.
