Did Thandel Producer Hint At Ghajini 2?

‘I
should
make
a
Rs
1,000
crore
film
with
you.’

Naga
Chaitanya’s
first
project
after
marriage
will
be
his
pan-India
project

Thandel,
which
reunites
the
actor
with
his

Love
Story
(2021)
co-star
Sai
Pallavi.

But
the
reunion
saga
doesn’t
end
there.

The
Hindi
trailer
launch
of

Thandel
was
unveiled
in
Mumbai
by
Aamir
Khan,
with
whom
Naga
Chaitanya
shared
screen
space
in

Laal
Singh
Chaddha.

Talking
about
how
Aamir
might
be
a
lucky
charm
for
his
films
with
Sai
Pallavi,
Naga
said,
“I
am
not
a
huge
believer
of
sentiments,
but
to
draw
an
interesting
parallel,
after
watching
the
trailer
of

Love
Story,
Aamir
sir
called
me
to
ask
if
he
could
come
for
the
launch
event.”

“When
I
said
that
Chiranjeevi

garu
has
already
been
announced
as
the
chief
guest,
Aamir
sir
said
he
just
wanted
to
come
and
enjoy
the
event.
He
came
and
that
gave
us
so
much
positivity,
and
the
film
was
a
huge
success.”

“Going
forward,
whenever
I
work
with
Pallavi,
I
will
have
to
call
Aamir
sir
for
the
trailer
release
event,”
the
actor
added.

The

Thandel
trailer
promises
an
unique
blend
of
romance
and
adventure
with
a
dash
of
patriotism.
It
presents
Naga
Chaitanya
as
a
fisherman
married
to
Sai
Pallavi’s
character.

It
follows
the
journey
of
a
simple
man
whose
life
changes
upside
down
when
his
group
is
captured
by
Pakistani
forces
in
international
waters,
leaving
his
loved
ones
yearning
for
his
return
back
home.

The
makers
apologised
for
Sai
Pallavi’s
absence
who
couldn’t
attend
the
event
because
of
health
issues.

The
event
was
attended
by

Thandel
Director
Chandoo
Mondeti
and
Producer
Allu
Aravind
who
had
backed
Aamir’s
2008
blockbuster

Ghajini,
the
first
Hindi
film
to
enter
the
100
crore
club.

Allu
Aravind
is
reportedly
planning
to
make
a

Ghajini
sequel
in
Tamil
and
Hindi,
and
Aamir
may
reprise
his
role
in
the
Hindi
rendition.
While
the
filmmaker
didn’t
confirm
nor
deny
the
news,
he
dropped
subtle
hints
about
the
possible
collaboration.

“I
should
make
a
Rs
1,000
crore
film
with
you,”
the
producer,
whose
son
Allu
Arjun
recently
starred
in
Hindi
cinema’s
first
Rs
800
crore
film,
said
looking
at
Aamir.
“Maybe

Ghajini
2.”

Aamir
looked
surprised
and
said,
“Yes,
a
lot
on
the
Net
has
been
going
around

Ghajini
2.”

Is

Ghajini
2
in

making?

Interestingly,

Thandel
releases
the
same
day
as

Loveyapa
on
February
7,
which
stars
Aamir
Khan’s
son
Junaid
and
Khushi
Kapoor.

Allu
Aravind
said
he
was
slightly
embarrassed
to
call
Aamir
for
the
event
but
the
actor
showed
no
inhibitions.

“I
called
him
with
slight
embarrassment
because
his
son’s
film
was
releasing
on
the
same
date
as
ours.
I
told
him,
‘The
only
Hindi
superstar
I
have
known
and
made
films
with
is
you.
So
can
I
invite
you
for
the
trailer
launch?’
He
just
said,
‘Both
films
will
run
sir,
don’t
worry.
I
am
coming’.”

Director

Mondeti,
who
is
known
for
helming
the

Karthikeya
series
and

Premam,
called
Aamir
an
“encyclopaedia
of
cinema”
and
offered
to
assist
him
on
films.

“More
than
my
film’s
trailer
launch,
I
am
excited
to
share
the
stage
with
you,”
the
director
said
expressing
his
adulation
for
Aamir.

“I
have
a
sincere
request
to
Aamir
sir
—
I
want
to
assist
you
for
six
months,
and
after
that,
I
will
narrate
a
story
to
you.
I
am
not
exaggerating.
These
are
my
true
feelings
towards
you.”

“Thandel
is
releasing
on
February
7.
Even
my
son
Junaid
Khan’s
movie
releases
on
the
same
day.
But
I
happily
agreed
to
come
for
this
event
as
Allu
Aravindji
is
like
my
brother.
Audiences
will
watch
any
number
of
movies
if
the
stories
engage
them.”
Aamir
said.

revealed
that
DSP’s
Hindi
song

Dhinka
Chika
from
the
Salman
Khan-starrer

Ready
is
his
favourite!

“I
normally
don’t
like
to
dance
but
I
can’t
stop
dancing
when
that
song
is
played.
I
promise
you,
even
Salman
knows
this,”
Aamir
said
with
a
smile.
