The love triangle is evident in Naga Chaitanya's 2019 movie 'Majili'. Read on to explore some movies with a love triangle quirk inside the story plot.
Actor Naga Chaitanya is known for his 11-year-long acting career which started with the movie Josh that was released in 2009. Despite the meagre box office collection, Naga Chaitanya's acting gained recognition and the actor was then seen in the lead role in many subsequent movies. Going by two Naga Chaitanya films, Majili and Love Story, the actor has been a part of the trending Tollywood 'convention' of stories with a love triangle. Other popular love triangle movies in South Indian cinema include Prema Desam and Brindavanam, starring Vineeth and Abbas, and N. T. Rama Rao Jr. respectively. Getting back to Naga Chaitanya films, here is a little about the story of Majili with a love triangle.
