Megastar
Chiranjeevi
is
all
set
to
feature
in
his
152nd
film,
Acharya,
directed
by
Koratala
Siva.
The
shooting
of
Acharya
was
in
full-swing,
but
due
to
the
Novel
Coronavirus
outbreak
and
extension
of
lockdown,
the
shooting
has
been
put
on
hold.
The
actor
is
currently
busy
overseeing
the
formalities
of
Corona
Crisis
Charity,
which
is
a
special
committee
formed
to
offer
financial
assistance
to
daily
wage
workers
and
other
lower-income
groups
in
the
Tollywood
industry.
Chiranjeevi
is
also
teaming
up
with
young
directors
post
Acharya.
Speaking
about
his
future
projects
to
a
TV
channel,
the
Megastar
said,
"I
can
rediscover
and
reinvent
myself
when
I'm
working
with
young
filmmakers.
Similarly,
they
also
strive
to
project
me
in
a
new
dimension
on
the
silver
screen.
I
feel
inspired
by
their
new
thoughts
and
ideas."
(sic)
"I'm
planning
to
remake
'Lucifer'
with
Saaho
director
Sujeeth
Reddy.
Similarly,
I
will
do
a
film
with
Bobby
and
Meher
Ramesh.
Recently,
I
met
new-gen
directors
like
Sukumar,
Harish
Shankar
and
Parasuram
at
my
house
and
discussed
scripts
and
several
topics.
However,
I
will
only
make
an
official
announcement
on
my
next
project
after
wrapping
up
'Acharya',"
64-year-old
Chiranjeevi
added.
Acharya
also
stars
Kajal
Aggarwal
in
the
female
lead,
Ram
Charan
in
a
cameo
appearance
and
Regina
Cassandra
in
a
special
dancer
number
with
Chiranjeevi.
The
film
will
showcase
Chiranjeevi
as
a
Naxalite-turned-social
reformer.
The
music
of
Acharya
will
be
composed
by
Mani
Sharma.
The
film
is
scheduled
to
be
released
on
August
14,
2020.
