Chiranjeevi's
highly
anticipated
film
Acharya
has
been
in
the
news
ever
since
its
inception.
The
social-drama,
which
is
being
helmed
by
Koratala
Siva,
reportedly
explores
the
subject
of
Naxalism
and
also
features
Trisha
Krishnan
and
Sonu
Sood
in
important
roles.
The
movie
went
on
floors
in
January
and
currently,
the
makers
are
shooting
at
a
brisk
pace
as
they
want
to
release
Acharya
in
August.
While
fans
are
eagerly
waiting
to
see
their
favourite
superstar
on
the
big
screen,
they
aren't
too
happy
about
the
fact
that
Mahesh
Babu
has
been
approached
for
an
extended
cameo
in
the
film.
Initially,
the
role
was
offered
to
Ram
Charan
and
though
he
was
keen
on
doing
the
movie,
the
talented
actor
had
to
back
off
as
he
is
busy
with
SS
Rajamouli's
magnum
opus
RRR.
So
Koratala
Siva,
who
shares
a
good
rapport
with
Mahesh
Babu,
decided
to
get
him
on
board.
While
reports
have
been
doing
the
rounds
about
his
inclusion
in
the
cast
for
a
while
now,
the
makers
are
yet
to
confirm
the
news.
According
to
a
report
in
greatandhra.com,
Mahesh
is
quite
wary
about
his
role
as
he
has
never
done
a
cameo
in
any
film
to
date.
Hence
Koratala
Siva
and
his
team
have
remained
silent
over
his
casting.
Chiranjeevi
and
Pawan
Kalyan
fans,
on
the
other
hand,
are
apparently
upset
with
the
makers
of
Acharya
as
they
didn't
consider
roping
in
Gopala
Gopala
actor
for
the
crucial
role
instead
of
Mahesh.
Mega
fans
have
been
waiting
since
long
for
the
two
actors
to
collaborate
as
Chiranjeevi
and
Kalyan
were
last
seen
sharing
screen
space
in
2007.
Considering
their
friendship,
fans
think
Pawan
Kalyan
would
have
said
yes
to
the
film
without
thinking
twice.
And
therefore
if
Mahesh
backs
out
from
the
project
even
now,
fans
are
hoping
that
Koratala
Siva
will
go
to
Pawan
Kalyan
with
the
role.
Well,
we
don't
know
if
that
will
happen
or
not
but
since
Kalyan
already
has
several
movies
on
his
plate,
it's
best
for
the
makers
to
stick
to
Mahesh.
