Naga Chaitanya is diving into uncharted cinematic waters with his next film, NC24, a mythical thriller directed by Karthik Dandu. The film promises to be a visually rich and intense narrative, and the latest behind-the-scenes video released by the makers has only amplified the buzz. Touted as an epic exploration adventure, NC24 will see Chaitanya in a completely new avatar, navigating treacherous terrains, dark caves, and mystical forests.
The teaser video, shared on the film’s official social media handles, offers a peek into the scale and ambition of the project. It shows the actor and crew traveling to remote locations, constructing massive sets, and crafting intricate props that align with the film’s mysterious and mythological themes. The makers also showcased the use of VFX and imaginative set pieces, promising an experience unlike anything seen before in Telugu cinema.
In the video, Naga Chaitanya is seen working closely with director Karthik Dandu, blending physical performance with immersive storytelling. The production team captioned the post, “Years of ideation. Months of preparation. Endless rehearsals. And what you’re seeing now is just a whisper of the storm that’s coming! #NC24 The Excavation Begins.” This ambitious project clearly aims to raise the bar for Indian mythological thrillers.
Following the success of Thandel, which was both a critical and commercial hit, NC24 marks a bold new direction for Chaitanya. The film is expected to explore themes of ancient legends, lost civilizations, and the human spirit’s confrontation with the unknown — all set against visually spectacular backdrops.
Additionally, speculation continues around Chaitanya’s possible next venture in the web space with Mayasabha, written by Deva Katta. While there’s no official confirmation yet, fans are eager to see what the actor brings to both big and small screens in the months ahead. With NC24, it seems clear that Naga Chaitanya is ready to redefine his cinematic identity.
