Crisp runtime revealed for Naga Chaitanya's Thandel.

Mondeti mentioned, "We’ve aimed for a concise runtime of 2 hours and 25 minutes. Thandel carries a rich mix of emotions, and while I would have liked the film to extend to 2 hours and 45 minutes, we felt that some elements could have been overlooked in those 20 minutes cut." He also added, "Even with those 20 minutes trimmed, the film still presents all the important aspects efficiently. Naga Chaitanya's much-anticipated PAN-Indian film, Thandel, is all set to make its much-awaited debut in theaters on February 7. The film's team is currently immersed in a extensive promotional campaign, with a grand event in Chennai, where actor Karthi will be in attendance. Navin Nooli’s editing has been remarkable, and I am thoroughly pleased with the final result." Starring Sai Pallavi in the female lead role, Tollywood Collections Thandel explores the lives of fishermen from Matchelesam, with music by Devi Sri Prasad.
