For
the
longest
time,
reports
have
been
doing
the
rounds
about
Chiranjeevi's
upcoming
film
Acharya
and
who
will
play
the
extended
cameo
in
the
social-drama.
Initially,
the
crucial
role
was
offered
to
Ram
Charan
but
the
actor
declined
the
proposal
as
his
current
director
SS
Rajamouli
didn't
want
him
to
do
any
multi-starrer
project
before
RRR
released
in
theatres.
Since
the
Magadheera
hero
couldn't
take
up
the
role,
Acharya
director
Koratala
Siva
decided
to
approach
his
good
friend
Mahesh
Babu
for
the
cameo.
The
44-year-old
superstar
was
apprehensive
about
doing
the
guest
role
but
he
eventually
gave
his
nod.
At
least
that's
what
most
media
reports
claimed.
But
surprisingly
no
official
announcement
was
made
regarding
Mahesh
Babu's
inclusion
in
the
cast.
It
was
being
said
that
the
makers
will
confirm
the
news
during
the
festive
occasion
of
Holi
but
that
didn't
happen
as
well.
And
now
according
to
a
report
in
greatandhra.com,
Ram
Charan
is
the
one
who
is
finally
doing
the
extended
cameo
in
Acharya.
While
Siva
was
happy
to
get
Mahesh
Babu
onboard,
Chiranjeevi
wasn't
too
happy
with
his
casting.
Apparently,
Ram
Charan
and
his
superstar
father
felt
that
Acharya
was
the
perfect
film
for
them
to
work
together
as
the
roles
have
been
well-defined
and
well-written.
The
duo
didn't
want
to
miss
this
opportunity
and
hence
Charan
convinced
SS
Rajamouli
to
let
him
act
in
Chiranjeevi
starrer.
So
now
fans
will
indeed
get
to
see
Ram
Charan
and
Chiranjeevi
together
on
the
big
screen
which
is
obviously
exciting.
An
official
announcement
will
be
made
pretty
soon
but
for
now,
we
are
just
happy
that
things
have
eventually
worked
out
just
as
they
were
supposed
to.
As
for
Mahesh
Babu,
he
is
currently
busy
shooting
for
his
brand
endorsements
and
will
soon
jet
off
to
London
along
with
his
family
for
a
trip.
