Naga Chaitanya is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie Thandel with Sai Pallavi, and the film’s Hindi trailer was unveiled in Mumbai, with Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan gracing the event as the chief guest.
During the launch, Chaitanya reminisced about the special bond he shares with Aamir. After watching the trailer of his earlier film Love Story with Sai Pallavi, Aamir called Chay and asked if he could attend the trailer launch of the movie, which was set to happen in just two days. The film later turned out to be a major success.
According to Gulte, Chaitanya said that having Aamir launch the trailer for his new movie with Sai Pallavi felt like a magical moment for him. “If this film succeeds—and I’m confident it will—I will make sure Aamir Khan launches the trailers for all the films that Pallavi and I work on in the future,” he added.
Chaitanya reflected on his experience working with Aamir in Laal Singh Chaddha, emphasizing the profound impact the actor had on him. Spending six months together, Chaitanya not only gained valuable lessons in acting but also admired Aamir’s qualities as a person. He credited Aamir’s influence as a significant and lasting presence in his life.
Aamir Khan, in turn, expressed his admiration for the film and its trailer. He praised the storytelling and added that audiences would definitely love watching it. He called the trailer fantastic and beautifully shot. “Dinka Chika, composed by Devi Sri Prasad, is my favourite song—I can’t help but dance when I hear it,” Aamir shared.
Aamir was moved by the story of Thandel. “Chay is an amazing actor, and so is Sai Pallavi. Chay is an ideal co-star—absolutely on the ball, a complete team player. He’s a great human being to be around. We share a wonderful fondness for each other,” he stated.
Thandel, directed by Chandoo Mondeti, will hit theatres on February 7.
