Talking about his work, Naga Chaitanya was last seen in the web series ‘Dhootha’. Speaking to News18, the ‘Premam’ star spoke about stepping out of his comfort zone for ‘Dhootha’. He said, “My fans and people have always encouraged and loved me in romantic roles. So when I got into Dhootha, it blew my mind as this is a genre where as an audience I like supernatural thrillers. As an actor, I haven’t done anything in the past. It has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself as an actor. I want to prove to the audience that I fit in outside the romantic zone too.”

According to reports, the series will return for a second season.

Sobhita Dhulipala was last seen in Made In Heaven Season 2, which streams on Prime Video.
