Naga Chaitanya is on a professional high after receiving the Best Actor award at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards 2025 for his film Thandel (2025). He will be seen in the adventure drama Vrushakarma, where he plays a treasure hunter, calling it a "dream come true".
The first look of the film has been well-received by the audience, and Chaitanya is ecstatic. He says, "I've always wanted to be a part of a large scale spectacle film, with a nice mythical layer added to it. That was my dream in the last few years and finally that dream came true."
Chaitanya dons a ripped physique for Vrushakarma, which he recently showcased on social media. He says, "Fitness is something I enjoy off screen too. In some of my previous characters, being fit or having a good looking physique was not part of it. But over here, it did fit into the role. So, I enjoyed bringing my off screen personality to the screen in terms of fitness."
When teased about his transition from being cute to hot, Chaitanya quips, "Being an actor, you want to cover the entire spectrum. I'm happy that both the words are being used to describe me and I'd always like to stay relevant to both."
Regarding the potential of Vrushakarma to turn into a franchise, Chaitanya is hopeful but also practical, saying, "I think success of the first film will dictate that."
