After scoring a super success with the epic-action film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, Megastar Chiranjeevi has joined hands with talented director Koratala Siva for his next project titled as Acharya. Due to coronavirus outbreak and the prevailing lockdown in the country, the shooting of the film has been temporarily put on hold and Chiranjeevi is busy overseeing the formalities of Corona Crisis Charity, a special committee formed to offer financial assistance to daily wage workers and other lower-income groups in the Telugu film industry.
Meanwhile, during a recent interaction with a leading daily, the 64-year-old actor spilled the beans regarding his characterisation in Acharya. Terming the film as a socio-political entertainer, the senior hero said “It is a socio-political entertainer that depicts a man’s fight to conserve natural resources. My role is an intense one, both physically and intellectually. Like Koratala Siva’s earlier films, Acharya too drives across a strong message without sounding too preachy.”
Confirming the presence of Ram Charan in the film, Chiranjeevi thanked SS Rajamouli for allowing the ‘Magadheera’ actor to play the extended cameo amid the hectic schedule of RRR (Roudram Ranam Rudhiram).
Starring Kajal Aggarwal as the leading lady, Acharya will feature the senior actor as a Naxalite-turned-social reformer. While Mani Sharma is roped in to compose the music, Regina Cassandra has recently sizzled for a special number opposite Chiranjeevi.
