Ahead of Thank You's release, Naga Chaitanya speaks about his character ‘Abhi’ and further shares his experience working with Aamir Khan in Laal Singh Chaddha

Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming film Thank You is directed by Vikram Kumar. The film stars Avika Gor and Raashi Khanna in lead roles. Apart from this, the actor is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the film Laal Singh Chaddha which is set to release in theatres on 11 August 2022. Ahead of Thank You’s release, Naga spoke to the media and interacted with them.

The actor was asked about his film Thank You and all challenges he had to face while doing the role, to which he replied, “When you watch the film, you will know there are more layers to my character. The film follows the journey of my character Abhi from age 16 to 36. You will see how his life changed over the years. It was challenging for me physically. It’s not easy to find such scripts. Usually, the heroes have just a single look in the movie, with the exception of flashback scenes. This script had the scope to show variations in terms of looks. Also, the audience may not accept me as a teenager for another 3 to 4 years. I felt this film was my last chance to play as a teenager.”

The Majili actor was recently present at the special screening of Laal Singh Chaddha along with his father Nagarjuna, SS Rajamouli, and Aamir Khan at Chiranjeevi’s residence. The Telugu star shared his experience saying, “Aamir Khan wanted Chiranjeevi Garu to present Laal Singh Chaddha. And when he saw the film, Chiranjeevi Garu liked it very much and he accepted it. It was a very memorable experience as an actor to watch the movie with directors like Rajamouli Garu and Sukumar Garu. I did Laal Singh Chaddha without worrying about the screen time or anything else. I wanted to work with Aamir sir and learn from him. I wanted to learn his process. And I achieved what I wanted by working on this film.”

Apart from Laal Singh Chaddha and Thank You, Chay also has NC22 with Krithi Shetty and a web series named Dhootha alongside Prachi Desai.
