Naga Chaitanya, one of the most intriguing actors in Telugu cinema, joins us for an unfiltered conversation, sharing insights into his life, career, and business ventures like never before. From the reality of being a star kid to his views on party culture, film promotions, and business strategies, Chay opens up about aspects of his life that are often misunderstood.
Being called a star kid comes with its fair share of advantages and disadvantages. Chay explains why he dislikes that label and how he chooses to stay grounded despite the privileges that come with his family name. He addresses the ever-controversial topic of nepotism—does he see it as a problem, or does he believe it’s just like any other family profession being passed down? He breaks down his perspective, making an honest case for both sides of the argument.
The film industry has changed drastically, especially when it comes to promotions. With social media playing a massive role, actors are expected to constantly engage with their audience. Do actors have a say in what they’re willing to do during promotions, or is it all pre-planned? He also shares why he doesn’t prefer promoting movies alone and why he chose to appear on our show instead.
Shifting gears from cinema to business, we dive into Chay’s food venture, Shoyu. Where did the idea come from, and why did he choose the cloud kitchen model over a traditional restaurant? He talks about the challenges and insights that come with running a food business, especially for someone coming from the film industry.
Failure is an inevitable part of any actor’s journey. But how does it feel when a film that an actor has put immense effort into fails at the box office? Chay discusses the emotional and professional toll of dealing with flops, the dilemma of hyping up a film even when its potential is questionable, and how he personally copes with setbacks.
Despite being from a film family, has he always been pampered on sets? Chay reminisces about his time at the LA acting school and how different Hollywood’s approach to acting is compared to the Telugu film industry. Do acting schools genuinely help actors, or is on-the-job learning more valuable?
One of the most emotional segments of this conversation is about Manam and his legendary grandfather, ANR. Chay shares untold stories from the sets, the pressure on the family, and whether it’s true that ANR dubbed for his scenes during his last days. He explains why Manam remains such an important film in their family’s legacy.
This episode goes beyond the usual promotional talks, diving deep into his personal choices, struggles, and philosophies.
