This is not only illegal and outrageous but also a blatant insult to the countless individuals who worked tirelessly to bring this film to life. The movie is the dream of artists, the director, and the producers. I urge APSRTC Chairman #KonakallaNarayanaRao Garu to take strict action and set a strong example to ensure that such incidents never happen again.” Thandel is based on a true story in which 20 Indian fishermen from Srikakulam (Andhra Pradesh) were captured by Pakistan authorities and imprisoned in 2018.
