Chiranjeevi, last seen in historical-drama Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, is reportedly awaiting the lockdown to end, and re-join the sets of Koratala Siva directorial. The forthcoming movie, titled Acharya went on floors in March 2020. A few days ago, several media reports claimed that the makers of Acharya had approached Bollywood actor Salman Khan for a cameo in the upcomer. However, recently a source close to a news portal revealed that the report about Salman Khan being approached for Acharya is baseless. Reportedly, the makers never approached Salman Khan in the first place.
However, the movie still has a cameo appearance by actor Ram Charan. Reportedly, he will play the role of a Naxalite in the Chiranjeevi starrer. According to reports, all of his scenes will be with Chiranjeevi. The reports further claimed that Ram Charan and Chiranjeevi will also feature in a song sequence that will be the highlight of the film.
