Following the success of Thandel, actor Naga Chaitanya is diving into uncharted cinematic territory with his next venture, tentatively titled NC24. The film, described as a mythological thriller, is helmed by Virupaksha director Karthik Dandu and is being jointly bankrolled by BVSN Prasad under the Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra (SVCC) banner, along with Sukumar Writings. Bapineedu is presenting the ambitious project, which is shaping up to be a landmark in Chaitanya’s career.
Shooting Enters Next Phase
Kicking off the second schedule, Chaitanya took to social media to unveil a striking new poster. The intense image shows the actor wielding an axe and holding a rope, hinting at a gritty and mysterious role, and instantly stirring intrigue among fans.
The film had earlier wrapped up a successful first shooting schedule, with a special behind-the-scenes glimpse that won praise from fans and industry watchers alike. With promising footage in hand, the team has now moved into a more action-packed phase of production.
The ongoing schedule, set to last about a month, will span three major locations within Hyderabad. It will involve filming crucial sequences that are pivotal to the narrative, with several key cast members also participating actively during this leg of the shoot.
A Promising Technical Team
NC24 boasts a powerful technical lineup, enhancing the film’s cinematic appeal. Ragul Dharuman handles the cinematography, while music director Ajaneesh B Loknath is set to deliver a riveting soundtrack. National Award-winning editor Naveen Nooli is in charge of post-production, ensuring the film maintains a tight and immersive pace.
Notably, the project was officially announced on Naga Chaitanya’s 38th birthday, and buzz surrounding it has only escalated since. It is said to be the most expensive film in the actor’s career to date. While several plot and cast details are still under wraps, the makers have teased that the film’s official title and additional casting announcements are on the way.
With its unique genre, high production values, and an all-star crew, NC24 is poised to be one of the most anticipated films in Naga Chaitanya’s filmography.
