Telugu star Naga Chaitanya Akkineni took to social media to introduce Meenakshi Chaudhary as Daksha, the leading lady in his much-anticipated film NC24. Sharing a striking poster, Chaitanya tweeted, “It’s my pleasure introducing @Meenakshiioffl as #Daksha to you all from our #NC24. It’s been such a fun time working with her and a character you all will fall in love with.”
The poster sets a captivating tone, showing Meenakshi in a rugged, cave-like backdrop, holding a hand mirror that hints at mystery and depth. The visual suggests that NC24 will dive into the mythical and the mystical, blending folklore with modern storytelling—a signature style of the film’s writer, Sukumar, and its director, Karthik Varma Dandu, who previously helmed the gripping thriller Virupaksha.
Interestingly, the makers had initially planned to unveil Daksha’s look earlier but decided to postpone the reveal as a mark of respect for the victims of a tragic bus accident in Chevella, Telangana. The thoughtful gesture was appreciated by fans, reflecting the team’s empathy and awareness of real-world events beyond cinema.
With Chaitanya stepping into new territory and Meenakshi Chaudhary’s compelling presence as Daksha, NC24 is shaping up to be a fascinating addition to Telugu cinema’s growing list of myth-inspired thrillers. Audiences can expect a spellbinding mix of emotion, suspense, and ancient intrigue when the film hits theaters.
