Concluding the festivities of the ceremony, Nagarjuna Akkineni hosted a dinner in celebration. The official announcement of the couple’s engagement was made by the actor himself through his official X (formerly Twitter) account.

Coming to the work front, Naga Chaitanya is currently shooting for his film Thandel, directed by Chandoo Mondeti. The movie, set in the backdrops of Srikakulam, features the actor as a member of the fishermen community and has undergone rigorous preparations.
The film also marks the actor’s second collaboration with actress Sai Pallavi, who plays his love interest. They both were well-praised for the chemistry in Sekhar Kammula’s romantic film, Love Story.
