Manam, starring Akkineni Nagarjuna, Naga Chaitanya, Samantha and Akkineni Nageswara Rao, was a breath of fresh air. The 2014 release directed by Vikram Kumar, is till date one of the best fantasy entertainers. Thanks to the storytelling and brilliant performances this film was a hit. The film was a complete family entertainer and as usual, Chay stole the show with his performance. What makes Manam a great film is the terrific acting, touching plot and amazing songs.

'Premam' is a film that depicts friendship, love and relations beautifully. Not just that the chemistry between the cast and their performance was great, and this film is definitely worth bingeing on. Premam was the remake of a 2015 Malayalam film of the same name. The film was helmed by Chandoo Mondeti, and the actor played the role of a Vikram Vatsalya whose life is shown from teenage to adulthood.

Love Story

Directed by Sekhar Kammula, starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi, is a great film if you want to watch something heartfelt and emotional. We see a rich girl-poor boy love story where the spotlight is put on the oppressed strata of the society, and from their vantage point, it’s painful to watch. The film sheds light on the current status of the lower-caste communities and adds a ray of optimism to the social structure. Chay’s chemistry with Sai Pallavi was highly cherished by the audience.
