The recently unveiled title glimpse of NC24 – The Excavation Begins has sparked massive excitement, especially among Akkineni fans. Directed by Virupaksha fame Karthik Varma Dandu, this mythical thriller promises to present Naga Chaitanya in a never-before-seen avatar – and the latest update only fuels the anticipation.
In a move that reflects the makers’ confidence in the film’s grand vision, a massive and hyper-realistic cave set has been constructed near Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad. Designed by renowned production designer Sri Nagendra Tangala, this awe-inspiring set has reportedly cost around Rs. 10 crore, adding a whole new layer of scale to the production.
Since Chaitanya plays a treasure hunter, a major portion of the story unfolds within this cave. Most of the action-packed sequences and key moments will be filmed in this specially crafted environment, which has been praised for its immersive, lifelike design.
So far, the team has completed 18 days of shooting, and the remaining schedule will largely take place within this grand set. Meenakshi Chaudhary, who plays Lakshya, an archaeologist, joins Chaitanya on what promises to be a thrilling cinematic journey through ancient secrets and hidden treasures.
Produced by BVSN Prasad under Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra and presented by Sukumar Writings, NC24 is backed by a powerful technical team, with music composed by Ajaneesh B. Loknath, known for his atmospheric scores.
With mystery, mythology, and adventure rolled into one high-stakes narrative, NC24 is shaping up to be a truly unique cinematic experience. Stay tuned to 123telugu.com for more exclusive updates.
