Move over the romantic, here comes the action hero, seems to be the message that upcoming hero Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is conveying through his latest starrer, Dhada while he was shooting for a special song sequence at Annapurna Studios recently.
He was hip hopping to steps composed by Prem Rakshith with the top London model and Bollywood actress, Aruna Shields along with a group of dancers in the gorgeous set. Gnanasekhar cinematographed the titillating number.
The grad from the New York Film Study School, Ajay Bhuyan wielded the megaphone. After tasting big success with two consecutive love stories, ‘Chaitu' as he is being referred to affectionately by industry folk, is attempting an image makeover as a angry young man whose very name evokes fear among the antagonists. Most of the story is set in U.S. from where the hero hails. Kajal plays his love interest.
