Vrusha Karma: Naga Chaitanya’s Upcoming Mythological Thriller Bags Major Overseas Distribution Deal

Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming film, NC24 or Vrusha Karma, recently made news for its major overseas rights deal. The movie marks the third directorial venture of Karthik Varma Dandu after Bham Bolenath (2015) and Virupaksha (2023). It is written by Sukumar, the director of the Pushpa franchise. Apart from handling the scripting duties, Sukumar is also serving as a co-producer.

Vrusha Karma Overseas Distribution Deal

Although Sukumar writes the upcoming mythological thriller after his success with Pushpa 2: The Rule, the film has not yet generated that level of hype. However, one positive sign for the makers is that the film has already managed to sell its overseas distribution rights for a whopping 7 crore, per CineJosh. This marks a record price in Naga Chaitanya’s career and sets high expectations for its release.

Naga Chaitanya Akkineni’s Last Theatrical Release

Thandel, directed by Chandoo Mondeti, was the last theatrical release of Naga Chaitanya, where he was paired opposite Sai Pallavi. The film was inspired by real incidents involving fishermen who crossed international waters, were captured by Pakistani forces, and had to endure harsh conditions in prison before attempting to reunite with their families.
