Naga Chaitanya launched the trailer of his upcoming Telugu action thriller film Thandel at Shri Rama Picture Palace, a movie theater in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh on Tuesday, Janaury 28th. During the event, he requested fans from Vizag, his wife and actress Sobhita Dhulipala's hometown, to make the film a hit at the box office.
Chaitanya said, "Vizag is so close to my heart that I fell in love with a Vizag girl and married her. Now, there’s a piece of Vizag in my home too. Even in my household, the ruling party is Vizag. So, brothers, I have a small request—Thandel should rock Vizag’s box office; otherwise, I’ll lose my honour at home. Please!"
