Naga Chaitanya's most-awaited Pan-India film 'Thandel', directed by Chandoo Mondeti and produced by Bunny Vas under the prestigious Geetha Arts banner, presented by Allu Aravind, is based on real-life events that took place in the village of D. Matchilesam in the Srikakulam district of Andhra Pradesh. Although these are true incidents, the circumstances, emotions, and situations that unfolded between the two lovers in their lives were so gripping and captivating that they feel more thrilling than even a fictional tale.

Thandel's Maha Shivratri Celebration Filmed at a Rich Heritage Site

As part of this endeavour, the makers incorporated a significant aspect of Srikakulam's rich heritage: the ancient Shiva temple of Sri Mukhalingam. The temple hosts the grand festival of Maha Shivaratri, celebrated with immense devotion, tradition, and grandeur.

Inspired by this, the team planned a spectacular and never-before-seen Shivaratri song for the movie. The song was filmed on a grand scale, with elaborate settings and high production values, aiming to make the celebration of Shivaratri feel awe-inspiring and resonate with all age groups.
