Laal Singh Chaddha: Meet Naga Chaitanya aka Bala

Naga Chaitanya's Bollywood debut in Aamir Khan-starer `Laal Singh Chaddha' is all set to hit the theatres on August 11.

Naga Chaitanya plays Bala in the movie. Filmmakers released a video in which Naga Chaitanya along with the film's cast and crew spoke about his character Balaraju Bodi aka Bala.

Chaitu plays the friend of Laal Singh in the movie when the latter is serving the Indian army. In the video, Chaitu said after referring to many names, the film team finalized Bala Raju. He added that he is happy with that name because his character's name Balaraju is an ode to his grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao's 1948 film by the same name.

Naga Chaitanya said his mustache look in the film is more attractive. He said Bala has a distinguished look due to a protruding lower jawline. He said he felt very emotional while concluding the shooting for the film as he traveled with an excellent team for almost seven months.

Talking about Chaitu, Aamir said. "I felt such comfort as a producer working with Chay. He's a team player. As an actor, he's so on the ball. He drowns himself in the shot completely".

With Chaitu's childhood pictures on the screen, Aamir praised the actor's parents for raising him with such discipline.

Advait Chandan, the Director of the film said: "I have worked with many Hindi-speaking actors. But Chaitu being a non-Hindi-speaking actor comes more thorough with his dialogues."

Tarannum Kaur, the make-up designer, described Chaitu as a sweet, patient, and calm actor she had seen.

Meanwhile, this video clip gives a sneak peek into some interesting shooting moments of Chaitu.

Chaitanya recently visited Sanjay Leela Bhansali's office in Mumbai and it is rumored that the duo is going to work soon on a project.
