Currently,
all
film
and
TV
shootings
have
been
put
on
hold
due
to
the
Coronavirus
lockdown
and
the
situation
has
hardly
gotten
any
better.
The
lockdown
was
supposed
to
be
lifted
on
April
15,
but
the
government
has
now
extended
the
lockdown
period
till
May
3,
keeping
in
mind
the
grim
situation.
Koratala
Siva
was
busy
shooting
for
his
much-awaited
film,
Acharya,
but
the
filmmaker
had
to
abruptly
stop
all
the
production
activities
because
of
the
Coronavirus
pandemic.
Starring
Chiranjeevi
in
the
lead,
the
makers
were
eyeing
to
release
the
film
this
year.
But
now,
we
hear
that
the
social-drama
may
arrive
in
theatres
early
next
year.
Siva's
directorial
venture
also
features
Kajal
Aggarwal
in
the
lead
and
has
Ram
Charan
playing
an
extended
cameo,
which
is
quite
crucial
to
the
film's
plot.
Anyway,
as
per
the
latest
buzz,
the
makers
are
eagerly
waiting
for
the
lockdown
to
get
over
so
that
they
can
resume
shooting
for
Acharya.
However,
according
to
a
report
in
123telugu.com,
Kajal
won't
join
the
sets
immediately,
as
the
actress
will
have
to
fly
from
Mumbai
to
the
shooting
venue.
And
at
the
moment,
the
situation
in
Mumbai
is
worse
than
in
most
cities.
Therefore,
post
lockdown,
the
makers
will
resume
shooting
without
their
leading
lady
and
most
of
the
big
stars.
Apparently,
Koratala
Siva
is
planning
to
shoot
the
indoor
sequences
first,
especially
those
which
won't
require
the
big
stars.
So,
as
soon
as
the
lockdown
gets
over,
team
Acharya
will
definitely
get
to
work,
but
they'll
finish
shooting
the
scenes,
wherein
Kajal
or
other
big
stars
won't
be
needed.
Now
that's
indeed
a
very
smart
strategy,
don't
you
guys
agree?
