Naga Chaitanya is set to star in the mystical thriller tentatively titled NC24. Directed by Virupaksha filmmaker Kartik Dandu, the movie also features Laapataa Ladies fame Sparsh Srivastava as the antagonist. The project is currently in production.
Marking 16 years in the film industry, Naga Chaitanya shared insights with Deccan Chronicle about his approach to cinema.
Speaking about his collaboration with Sobhita Dhulipala, he said, “Sobhita has been acting since winning Miss India, but she’s carved her own path. She chooses author-backed roles and films that lean towards artistic storytelling. Her passion for poetry also shapes her perspective. I, on the other hand, approach films from a more commercial standpoint.”
Naga Chaitanya further explained his preference for stories rooted in Indian culture. “I look for roles that are deeply connected to our land and heritage. The world is curious about India — our emotions, our traditions, our stories. That’s what I aim to bring to the screen,” he added.
