Checkout the must-watch movies from Naga Chaitanya’s career on this memorable occasion of his birthday :
Ye Maaya Chesave
Ye Maaya Chesave, which became a hugely successful love movie in the Telugu cinema industry, is a film starring Naga Chaitanya, so how can we leave it off the list? Although he began his career like any other mass hero with Josh, it was his second picture, YMC, that established him as a successful actor. One of Chay’s best performances in his career came as Karthik. The movie’s female lead, Samantha Ruth Prabhu, was helmed by Gautham Vasudev Menon.
Premam
Premam, a remake of the same-titled Malayalam film starring Naga Chaitanya, was met with high expectations because it had already won over a wide variety of viewers in its native language. The Telugu adaptation was widely viewed when it was launched and completely won over the audience. It’s delightful to watch Naga Chaitanya take on the role of Nivin Pauly and explore his transition from adolescence to adulthood and his numerous love tales. One of the highest-grossing Telugu movies of 2016 was this one.
Premam, which was directed by Chandoo Mondeti, also starred leading ladies Mandonna Sebetian, Shruti Haasan, and Anupama Parameswaran. It’s a stunning but tragic movie that you shouldn’t miss.
Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo
A highlight of Naga Chaitanya’s career is this movie. Everything about the film—the acting, the heartwarming love tale, and the calming music by AR Rahman—is excellent. It would be fair to claim that it is the most underappreciated movie and ought to be seen. The film, which was released in 2016, was directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, with Manjima Mohan playing the female protagonist.
Majili
Naga Chaitanya and love go together. He is a delight to see in love stories; Majili is proof of his lovable performance. The movie demonstrates how, with the right person by your side, anything is possible.
Naga Chaitanya plays a cricketer who wishes to play for the Indian cricket team but loses himself in life as a result of his heartache. Then Poorna, also known as Samantha Ruth Prabhu, shows up and aids him in realising his ambition. It is yet another of Naga Chaitanya’s best films because of the small touches of life and love.
Manam
The Akkineni dynasty is represented in the fantasy-drama movie Manam Manam by Akkineni Nageswara Rao, Akkineni Nagarjuna, Akkineni Chaitanya, and Akkineni Akhil. The novel idea of combining time travel with Akkineni’s history struck the appropriate chord with viewers. Chay’s act alongside his father and grandfather was adored by movie fans. It provided for the ideal family entertainment because it concentrated on the important issues, like marriage and family. A further strength of the movie is the chemistry between Chay and Samantha. Manam is a must-watch if you’re a fan of Naga Chaitanya.
