Naga Chaitanya opens up about Dhootha
In the interview, Naga Chaitanya was asked what Dhootha actually means to which the actor responded that the title stands for "messenger." He explained further, “In the show, I play a character called Sagar, who is a journalist. Usually, as a journalist, his job is to predict and inform the people on what is happening or what might happen but over here in Sagar’s life there is a newspaper which is predicting his life.”
The Thank You actor further added, “Initially though it is okay in his life, he’s figuring it out but as you get into the predictions a little deeper, he sees that his life is at threat and not just his own life but his entire family and all his loved ones.”
“If Sagar doesn’t get to the source of this threat, then everything is gonna collapse," he continued. He further noted this aspect gave it more dimensions and caused the character to doubt his ethics as a journalist and as a person.
