Makers of Naga Chaitanya’s upcoming film NC24 unveil the much-anticipated first-look poster of Meenakshi Chaudhary, introducing her as Daksha, an archaeologist at the heart of the story. The poster, which dropped on November 4, 2025, shows Meenakshi in a striking avatar-standing amid ancient ruins with a mysterious artifact in her hand, amidst an aura of intrigue. The image hints at the thematic mix that the film has-essentially, mythology, mystery, and action-set the tone for what looks like an intense cinematic experience.
Directed by Karthik Varma Dandu, who earlier directed Virupaksha, the writing is done by ace director Sukumar. NC24 is one collaboration that has already set the curiosity of the audience. The film is produced under the banner of SVCC Cinema, popularly known for backing big-ticket Telugu entertainers.
The poster launch, initially planned for a release on November 3, was postponed respectfully by a day as a mark of respect to the victims of the tragic Chevella bus accident in Telangana that killed 12 people. The move by the production team resonated with fans for its sensitivity and compassion.

Filming for NC24 started in April 2025 and has been in progress ever since, with all the principal shots being done in and around Hyderabad. The project reportedly features a mix of intense drama, ancient legends, and edge-of-the-seat action sequences.
A title teaser is expected later this month to further uncover the mysterious world of the film and give a glimpse into Naga Chaitanya’s powerful new avatar. Backed by Sukumar’s layered storytelling, Karthik Varma Dandu’s atmospheric direction, and Meenakshi Chaudhary’s compelling presence, NC24 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Telugu releases of 2026: a film that bridges history, emotion, and high-stakes adventure.
