Actor Naga Chaitanya, who is gearing up to release his upcoming project ‘Thank You’, has revealed that he plays a Mahesh Babu fan for a certain period in the movie. In a recent interview, Chai revealed that he plays Babu’s fan in the college portion of the movie.
Answering a question about the Mahesh Babu connect with his character, Chaitanya said in an interview, “The film travels through a timeline involving my character who goes through school and college to become a successful start-up billionaire. We wanted to use a layer of cinema to show how cinemas have evolved through this timeline. This is to show how my character evolves with each Mahesh Babu film. It starts with Pokkiri and how much my character enjoys watching it to the next Mahesh Babu film at a different stage in my career. We’ve just used the cinema reference to follow the timeline.”
In another clip from the pre-release event of the movie, Chaitanya said the Mahesh Babu reference will serve as a very good high point for fans.
On the work front, Chai currently awaits the release of Aamir Khan-starrer 'Laal Singh Chaddha’, in which he plays a key role. Chaitanya had joined the team as a replacement for actor Vijay Sethupathi, who was originally signed to play the character. The movie will mark Chaitanya’s Bollywood debut and show him as the titular character's close friend.
