In Koratala Siva’s film, Chiranjeevi is rumoured to have played dual roles.
Acharya, as per reports, will be about a middle-aged Naxalite-turned-social reformer who launches a fight against government functionaries over misappropriation and embezzlement of temple funds and donations.
The film originally was supposed to mark Trisha’s return to Telugu filmdom after many years. However, she opted out of the project due to creative differences. She was eventually replaced by Kajal Aggarwal. The film also stars Pooja Hegde.
Chiranjeevi is currently shooting for the Telugu film Godfather; a remake of the Malayalam film Lucifer (2019).
