Naga Chaitanya Gears Up For A Rugged Makeover

Naga Chaitanya made a strong comeback with Thandel which became the biggest hit of his career and ended his series of flops. He put in a lot of effort to look the part, and the success helped revive his market.

Now, Chaitanya is preparing for a fresh makeover in his next film, a mythological thriller tentatively titled NC24.

He plays an adventurer on a mission to find a missing treasure, facing several twists and challenges. To suit the role, he is working on building a tough and muscular look.

Though Chaitanya is already a fitness enthusiast, he is going the extra mile this time. He’s undergoing intense training with his fitness coach and sticking to a strict diet to get into shape.

The film recently started shooting in Hyderabad. It is directed by Karthik Varma Dandu of Virupaksha fame, with Meenakshi Chaudhary as the female lead. Sukumar Writings and SVCC are producing the film.
