Naga Chaitanya Eyes Horror Thriller After Vrushakarma Wrap

After dedicating over a year to the ambitious "Vrushakarma," Naga Chaitanya seems ready to turn the page on his next cinematic chapter. The grapevine suggests that Chaitanya is deep in discussions for a horror thriller with director Sai Kiran, who made a striking debut with "Masooda." This collaboration, if it materializes, would mark a distinct shift in genre for the Akkineni actor, who has reportedly been weighing his next steps with notable caution post "Thandel."

Sai Kiran has been quietly crafting his script for more than two years, and with Asian Suniel on board as producer, the project is gaining momentum. Sources indicate that Chaitanya has listened to the narration, but a final nod is still pending. The filmmaking team is hopeful, with shooting tentatively planned for next year, depending on Chaitanya's schedule.

Meanwhile, there’s confirmed news for fans: Chaitanya has officially signed on with "Bedurulanka" director Clax for a fresh venture. That film is scheduled to hit the floors later this year, soon after "Vrushakarma" wraps up production. As Chaitanya lines up these promising projects, industry watchers are keen to see which story he chooses to haunt audiences with next.
