Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s Acharya became the latest victim of Covid wave as the makers decided to cancel the film’s shoot for now. The film has around 30 days of shoot left and will now resume after situation is assessed by the unit.
The movie was originally scheduled to release on May 13th but now it has to be pushed further and a new release date will be announced soon. Incidentally, Sonu Sood, who plays a key role in the film was tested positive for Covid further pushing the makers to cancel the shoot.
Directed by Koratala Siva, the movie is being jointly produced by Matinee Entertainment and Konidela Production Company. The movie also stars Kajal Agarwal and in the lead role. Massive sets were erected in Marredumilli, Yellanadu, and Singareni Coal mines where the shoots were completed.
The movie also came under controversy recently for its depiction of Naxalism. A poster was released on ram Charan’s birthday in which both Chiranjeevi and Charan were seen donning naxal attire. This depiction has come under question from the Anti Terrorism Organisation. The organisation has questioned the intent of the films. Additionally, it has also requested the CBFC to not issue certification to these films in a detailed letter.
