Naga Chaitanya is set to explore a world filled with mythology and mystery in his upcoming film NC24, directed by Karthik Dandu, best known for Virupaksha. The film is being produced under two prestigious banners — Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra (SVCC) and Sukumar Writings — by BVSN Prasad and Sukumar, with Bapineedu presenting the project. After the intriguing initial glimpse that raised curiosity, the makers have now unveiled the much-awaited first look of Meenakshi Chaudhary, who plays the female lead opposite Naga Chaitanya.

The newly released poster introduces Meenakshi as Daksha, an archaeologist deeply fascinated by the mysteries of ancient civilizations. Her look is distinct from conventional heroines — she appears focused, confident, and ready for adventure. Clad in field gear and wearing spectacles, she is shown holding a magnifying glass, closely examining an ancient artifact within a dimly lit cave. The detailing in the poster reflects her character’s intellect and dedication, hinting that Daksha’s discoveries could be central to the unfolding mystery in the film’s plot.

Adding to the excitement, NC24 marks the Tollywood debut of Sparsh Shrivastava, known for his remarkable performance in Laapataa Ladies. The movie is currently being filmed in Hyderabad and is shaping up to be a visually stunning experience that blends adventure, suspense, and mythology. With Naga Chaitanya leading the charge and Karthik Dandu’s proven ability to create atmospheric thrillers, NC24 is poised to become one of the most awaited Telugu films of 2025. Meenakshi’s portrayal of an archaeologist on duty is expected to bring a refreshing depth to the narrative, combining intelligence, courage, and emotion in a way that resonates strongly with audiences.
