Quick look at Chaitanya's upcoming projects
Chaitanya's most recent appearance was in Venkat Prabhu's Tamil-Telugu bilingual film Custody, which unfortunately fell short of expectations for both the actor and the filmmakers. This adds to a series of setbacks for Chaitanya, who has yet to deliver a winning streak since his debut in 2009. Currently, he has another project in the pipeline titled N23, directed by Chandoo Mondeti. This upcoming movie features Sai Pallavi in the lead role.
Here's why Chaitanya opted for OTT debut
During a 2022 event, Chaitanya shared insights on choosing the OTT platform for his latest venture. He stated, "As [actors], we always crave for our work to get maximum exposure, and on a platform like Prime Video, we get that exposure. It's not pan-India, but it's pan-world." Reflecting on his role in the horror thriller series, Dhootha, he humorously mentioned, "I am a guy who can't sit through even five minutes of horror."
