Megastar
Chiranjeevi's
recent
official
statement
revealing
that
he
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
has
shocked
his
innumerable
fans.
The
senior
actor
apparently
took
the
COVID-19
test
as
a
protocol
before
resuming
the
shoot
for
his
upcoming
film
Acharya.
Well
now,
as
per
a
few
media
reports,
the
team
has
resumed
shooting
for
the
film
in
Hyderabad
without
the
Megastar.
The
director
along
with
a
few
cast
and
crew
members
of
the
film
will
be
shooting
sequences
that
doesn't
require
Chiru.
The
filming
of
the
action-thriller
has
now
resumed
after
an
8-month
break
owing
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic
and
subsequent
lockdown.
It
is
to
be
noted
that
the
lead
actress
of
Acharya,
Kajal
Aggarwal,
who
is
currently
enjoying
her
honeymoon
in
the
Maldives
after
a
fairytale
wedding
with
entrepreneur
Gautam
Kitchlu,
is
yet
to
resume
shooting.
On
the
other
hand,
Ram
Charan
who
will
appear
in
the
film
in
a
cameo
is
currently
busy
with
SS
Rajamouli's
RRR,
which
will
also
feature
actors
like
Jr
NTR,
Alia
Bhatt,
Shriya
Saran
and
Ajay
Devgn.
With
the
lead
actors
of
Acharya
being
scattered
due
to
their
respective
reasons,
looks
like
shooting
with
them
might
take
a
little
longer
than
expected.
Talking
about
Chiranjeevi's
recent
tweet
about
being
tested
positive
for
COVID-19,
the
statement
further
read,
"I
am
currently
asymptomatic
and
quarantining
myself
at
home.
Request
all
those
who
met
me
in
the
last
5
few
days
to
also
undergo
covid
tests.
Will
update
you
on
my
recovery
soon."
Coming
back
to
Acharya,
so
far
40
percent
of
the
film's
shoot
has
been
completed,
with
70
days
still
pending.
The
thriller
backed
by
Ram
Charan
and
Niranjan
Reddy
under
their
respective
banners
Konidela
Production
Company
and
Matinee
Entertainments,
will
reportedly
have
Chiranjeevi
playing
a
double
role.
