More About Thandel

According to a report by Koimoi, the story of Thandel is inspired by a real life story of Chodipilli Musalayya, a fisherman hailing from a fishing village of Kunduvanipeta in Srikakulam. Musalayya's life takes an upside down when he was imprisoned in Karachi for 22 years after getting strayed and caught in Pakistan's territorial water. The producer of the film Allu Aravind shared, "This true story happened in (a place) nearby Vizag, in a small village. People had gone to Gujarat for fishing for 30 days. Unfortunately, due to some weather problem, they crossed the international borders and suddenly they realised that Pakistan people had caught them and taken them to jail. They were there for 22 years. Their families in the village - how they suffered, how they rose to bring them back, and what their struggle was - this is the story of the film."
