Naga Chaitanya is all set to join hands with filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti for a prestigious project, to be directed by him. Chandoo Modeti, who is riding high on the success of his Pan India movie - Karthikeya 2, has kicked off work on this untitled venture which is currently being referred to as NC23. While the film will go on floors soon, Chay has kicked off work on it and visited a village in Srikakulam to prep for his character.
For the unversed, we hear that Naga Chaitanya will be essaying the role of a fisherman in the upcoming NC23. And for the same, the actor was seen spending quality time with the fishermen community. The actor wanted to adopt a realistic approach to his character and met the fishermen and their families to understand the land, their culture, their lifestyle. He seems to be leaving no stone unturned to get into the skin of the character.
A source close to the film opened up about the film saying, “The pre-production works of NC23 are in full swing. The makers are planning to commence the shoot this month. Naga Chaitanya, Chandoo Mondeti, and Bunny Vas visited Vizag yesterday. Today, they went to K Matchilesam village in Gara Mandal, Srikakulam district, to meet fishermen families there.
Addressing the media during his recent visit, Naga Chaitanya spoke about the film saying, “Chandoo narrated the storyline 6 months ago. I got very excited. He developed the story based on real incidents. Vas and Chandoo have been traveling for two years to work on the story. The story was so inspiring. We came here to know the lifestyle of fishermen, their body language, and also the texture of the village. The pre-production works begin today.”
Filmmaker Chandoo Mondeti went on to continue, “A local guy named Karthik prepared a story based on a real incident that happened in 2018. He initially told the story to Aravind Garu and Bunny Vas Garu. I got excited when I heard the story. We've been working on the script for the last two years. The script is ready now and it has come out well. Chay is pleased with the story. We wanted to start pre-production of the movie here where the incident took place.”

Producer Bunny Vas added, “Our work has just started. An incident happened in 2018. The locals in the village go to Gujarat for employment and they work in fishing boats there. Writer Karthik developed a story on the incident which happened in 2018. Chandoo liked it and made it a beautiful love story. Of late, Telugu filmmakers are inclined to make some realistic movies. Director Chandoo too wanted to go to the roots, where the story happened. We came here to study the atmosphere here and also the body language of the fishermen. Chay too wanted to know about fishermen and their lifestyle. The mentioned incident moved Delhi and also shook Karachi in Pakistan. So, we wanted to visit the village. We received a warm welcome here. We may come here again to know more details. We expect to get cooperation from the villagers.”
