Actor Naga Chaitanya has added yet another major honour to his name, winning the SIIMA Award for Best Actor for Thandel. The recognition marks his third Best Actor award for the film this year, following his wins at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards and the Indian National Cinema Academy (INCA) Awards, making it a remarkable hat-trick of accolades for his performance.
Directed by Chandoo Mondeti, Thandel saw Naga Chaitanya deliver an emotionally charged performance that connected strongly with audiences and earned appreciation for its intensity and authenticity.
With three Best Actor awards for Thandel in a single year, Naga Chaitanya’s winning run continues to be one of the highlights of his year. Fans are eagerly looking forward to Naga Chaitanya’s much-anticipated Vrushakarma, which has already generated strong buzz with its impressive pre-release business. The film is slated to hit theatres on December 4, 2026, while shooting is also in progress for the successful Dhootha franchise.
