Naga Chaitanya’s angry young man avatar gets everyone talking

Naga Chaitanya seems to have switched to action mode, if the first look of his upcoming film,

Yuddham Sharanam

, is any indication. The poster shows 30-year-old Chai as a brooding angry young man, leading to speculation that the film could be an out-and-out actioner. The makers, however, don’t want to reveal much. “Does the title or the appearance of Naga Chaitanya in the poster mean that it is a complete action film? ‘Yuddham’ does not mean war in the literal sense. It could also be a conflict within a household or anywhere else, for that matter. Action is definitely there in the film, but it is equally packed with emotions and necessary ingredients,” says a source close to the unit. Helmed by debutant director

Krishna RV Muthu

, the film stars Lavanya Tripathi as the female lead.
