Naga Chaitanya's talent cannot be casually overlooked just because he delivered a mediocre output in Dhada.  When he pulled off a challenging role with little facial movements in the understated performance in Ye Maya Chesave, it was an achievement in itself for a relatively fledgling actor like him.

Nevertheless, he needs a hit if he is to sustain himself in the industry.  Will Bezawada consolidate Chai in Tollywood?

Directed by Vivek Krishna, the film is important for its producer RGV.  And for the theme and setting too.  The story takes place in the backdrop of rowdyism and thuggery in the once-dreaded city, in which lynching, political murders and internecine rivalries had been infamously rampant.

When the film releases on November 3, it will be an acid test for the junior Nag for obvious reasons.
