A few reports have been rife that Ram Charan, who was to play a pivotal role in Chiranjeevi’s Acharya, directed by Koratala Siva, had quit the project, considering he needs to focus on SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, RRR. However, the same has been denied by sources known to us, close to production.
Ram is indeed a part of the project. Trisha was earlier signed up for the project but had quit for reasons best known for her. Kajal Aggarwal later replaced her.
The movie follows a former naxalite who starts a reform. This is the first time Siva and Chiranjeevi are coming together for a feature.
The shooting of Acharya is expected to resume post the lockdown ends. Fans can hardly wait, from the looks of it.
Chiranjeevi was last seen in Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, which was warmly received by the Telugu audiences.
