Talking about the film’s production, the makers said, “As planned, we completed the talkie part of Acharya by July 31. Just two songs are pending to be filmed. From August 20, a song will be shot on Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan. The remaining song will be filmed on Charan and Pooja Hegde in the upcoming schedule. With the picturization of the two songs, the entire shoot will be wrapped up. We are completing the post-production works too, at a fast pace.”

Acharya stars Kajal Aggarwal, Pooja Hegde as the female leads, and Sangeetha is seen in a prominent role. The film’s music is handled by Mani Sharma, and Thiru is the cinematographer for the project. Niranjan Reddy is the producer.

The movie, which was earlier scheduled to release in May, was later postponed to August. However, due to the second wave of Coronavirus and lockdown 2.0, the plans had to be changed again. If the sources are to be believed, the makers will announce a new release date for the film very soon.

On the work front, Chiranjeevi has two new films with directors Bobby and Jayam Mohan Raja in the pipeline. Meanwhile, Ram Charan’s RRR is slated for an October 13 release, and he has a pan-India project with director S Shankar in the works.
