Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, the film just hosted its pre-release event in Hyderabad. "Allu Arjun has just returned from abroad and is currently suffering from intense gastritis, which is the reason for his absence," Allu Aravind explained. Thandel is scheduled to debut on February 7, 2025. With just a few days left until the exciting release of Thandel, starring Chaitanya Akkineni and Pallavi Sai, anticipation is building. Initially planned as an exclusive gathering, the event was expected to feature the popular actor Allu Arjun as the guest of honor. However, due to unexpected situations, he couldn’t attend, leading to his father, Allu Aravind, stepping in to give an explanation. Meanwhile, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, the director of Animal, was present at the event, wishing success to the team and Tollywood Box Office Collection expressing his best wishes for their success.
