The much-anticipated wedding of Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala has captured the imagination of fans, media, and the Telugu film industry alike. As rumors swirl about the couple’s wedding plans, sources close to their families have revealed an intriguing detail that adds a deeply personal and spiritual layer to their celebrations. The couple has reportedly chosen Annapurna Studios as the venue for their wedding, a decision that holds significant emotional and cultural value.
A Sacred Connection to the Akkineni Legacy
Annapurna Studios is not just any film studio—it is a sacred space that symbolizes the legacy of the Akkineni family, particularly that of Naga Chaitanya’s late grandfather, the legendary actor Akkineni Nageswara Rao (ANR). ANR, an iconic figure in Telugu cinema, founded the studio in the 1970s, and it has since become a hub for the Akkineni family's contributions to the film industry. The studio’s importance extends beyond cinema, serving as a poignant reminder of ANR’s immense influence on the industry and his personal connection to the family.
Sources close to the couple have suggested that Naga Chaitanya has chosen Annapurna Studios for his wedding celebrations because he feels a deep, spiritual connection to his late grandfather’s presence there. “It’s a place where Naga Chaitanya feels a sense of peace and connection to his roots,” said a source close to the family. “He believes that seeking the blessings of his grandfather, especially at this iconic venue, will add significant meaning to the beginning of this new phase in his life with Sobhita.”
The Blessings of Akkineni Nageswara Rao
Naga Chaitanya’s decision to choose Annapurna Studios as the venue for his wedding also reflects his desire to honor the memory and legacy of his grandfather. For the Akkineni family, the studio has always been more than just a professional space—it’s a symbol of their cultural heritage and a place where the family’s film journey began. The statue of ANR that stands at the studio serves as a constant reminder of his contribution to cinema and to the Akkineni family’s stature in the Telugu film industry.

The gesture of starting his marital journey at Annapurna Studios, with ANR’s blessings, resonates with deep sentimental value for Naga Chaitanya. “It’s a beautiful tribute to ANR, and it brings a sense of continuity to the family’s traditions,” said an industry insider familiar with the family. “Chaitanya wants to ensure that his new life with Sobhita is built on the strong foundation of family values, and there’s no better place to begin this journey than Annapurna Studios.”
A Grand or Intimate Celebration?
While the choice of Annapurna Studios hints at a spiritual and emotional tone for the wedding, questions remain about the scale of the celebrations. Will it be a grand affair, with the Akkineni family’s closest friends and industry colleagues in attendance, or will it be a more intimate ceremony reserved for close family and friends? As of now, the details are still under wraps, but fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement.
“The couple is known for their private and understated nature, so it wouldn’t be surprising if they choose to keep the ceremony relatively intimate,” said another source. “However, considering the importance of the venue, there could still be a larger celebration, perhaps to honor the family legacy.”
What’s Next for Chaitanya and Sobhita?
As Naga Chaitanya and Sobhita Dhulipala prepare for their big day, fans continue to speculate about the couple’s wedding plans. With Annapurna Studios at the center of it all, the wedding is expected to be a deeply meaningful event, steeped in tradition and the Akkineni family’s rich cinematic history. Whether the celebrations are grand or intimate, one thing is clear: the wedding will be a significant chapter in both Chaitanya and Sobhita’s lives—and in the Akkineni family’s enduring legacy.
