Naga Chaitanya’s Telugu-Tamil bilingual Custody under the direction of Venkat Prabhu is due for release tomorrow. Sreenivasa Chitturi produced the movie that will have simultaneous release in two languages.

The actor informs to have participated in workshops, before starting the shoot. “We did two months of workshop to get prepared for the character. I used to observe police constables and also interact with them. It was inspiring when I heard stories from police constables. I truly enjoyed doing the role.”

Naga Chaitanya who already watched the movie is pretty confident about the outcome. “Custody is a special film in my career. But I don’t like comparing it with Shiva. I like to attempt different subjects.”

About his character, Chay says, “I played an underdog character of a police constable. I enjoyed the way Venkat Prabhu put together my character arc. By the end of the film, this grows like larger-than-life character.”

The theatrical trailer of Custody generated enough buzz and it hints that Naga Chaitanya is on action mode. Venkat Prabhu is the director of this stylish action thriller and Aravind Swamy, Sarath Kumar, and Priyamani will be seen in other prominent roles. During the pre-release event of Custody, Naga Chaitanya revealed that this film is the costliest film made in his career. The Akkineni actor also sounded super confident on the film and he thanked the makers for spending lavishly on the project.

He appreciated the efforts of Venkat Prabhu and his narration. Krithi Shetty is the leading lady and Naga Chaitanya also thanked the entire technical team for their work. Srinivasaa Chitturi is the producer of Custody and the film is hitting the screens on May 12th in Telugu and Tamil languages. Ilayaraja and Yuvan Shankar Raja scored the music for Custody. Naga Chaitanya has to score a super hit at any cost. His last film Thank You bombed badly at the box-office.

Akkineni heroes and their fans are left in a tough phase because of the back-to-back debacles. Nagarjuna hasn’t tasted success after Soggade Chinni Nayana and Oopiri which released in the year 2016. Om Namo Venkatesaya, Raju Gari Gadhi 2, Officer, Devadas, Manmadhudu 2, Wild Dog, and The Ghost ended up as disasters. Bangarraju ended up as an average grosser. Naga Chaitanya’s last film Thank You ended up as one of the biggest flops for the actor.

Akhil Akkineni has been struggling for the right success. His recent offering Agent is one of the biggest flops of Telugu cinema. Akkineni fans are left disappointed with the poor performance of the films of their favorite actors. Naga Chaitanya is testing his luck with Custody which is releasing on May 12th. During the media interaction, Chaitanya responded about the bad phase of the Akkinenis.

“We always work hard to give a memorable film for our fans. Giving a good film is a gift for their unconditional love and support. The last few films from us did not work out well. The results were bad. Highs and lows in a career are normal. Everyone will have these and we have to travel with them. The tough phase shall pass very soon. I am very confident on Custody and fans will get the needed result” told Naga Chaitanya.

Custody is an action thriller directed by Venkat Prabhu. Naga Chaitanya and Krithi Shetty played the lead roles.
