Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi-starrer Thandel hits the big screens today. The film marks Chaitanya's return to the movies after almost two years. However, that is not the only reason that this film is especially personal to him. "It is special because it is a true story with true characters. As an actor, I am craving for a nice film and good hit. It's been almost two years since I have had a release," Naga told his co-star Sai Pallavi who turned interviewer for him ahead of the film's release.

In the same interview, Sai Pallavi asked Naga Chaitanya a question from a netizen who expressed 'surprise' at seeing a 'fair boy' like the actor play the role of a fisherman from Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. The netizen also said that the actor is more suited to play the role of a rich boy on screen owing to his appearance. Responding to the question, Chaitanya said, "The job of an actor is to transform into a role and to try and push yourself and challenge yourself to do roles that are far away from your reality. How do I see myself as a fisherman? That you have to score me after watching the film."
