Thandel is a movie based on real-life incidents that took place in 2017 and 2018. The film stars Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, and is directed by Chandoo Mondeti. It also aims to honor the legacy of one of India’s most respected politicians, Sushma Swaraj.
Known for her unwavering dedication to protecting Indians abroad, Sushma Swaraj played a key role in bringing back Indian fishermen from Pakistani jails, a humanitarian effort that is now immortalized in the upcoming film.
As the producer behind this project, Bunny Vasu met with Sushma Swaraj’s daughter, Bansuri Swaraj, who took on the responsibility of continuing her mother’s work after her passing. Bunny Vasu expressed his gratitude to Bansuri Swaraj for allowing them to incorporate these elements into the film.
The film stays true to the events and uses the real names of the fishermen involved, providing a hard-hitting portrayal of the struggles they faced. The movie will also feature real footage of Sushma Swaraj.
Bunny Vasu wrote, “Heartfelt gratitude to @BansuriSwaraj garu for giving us the opportunity to showcase the remarkable work of your mother, the former Central Minister Mrs. @SushmaSwaraj garu, in bringing back the fishermen who were stuck in Pakistani jails in 2017 and 2018 in our #Thandel 🙏 Your support in granting permission to share the names in our real hard-hitting story of Raju and Satya means a lot to us. ❤️”
Director Chandoo Mondeti crafted a beautiful love story based on these events, and the movie is set for release on February 7th.
