Sai
Pallavi
has
been
ruling
the
south
film
industry
ever
since
her
tremendous
entry
in
films
through
Malayalam
movie
Premam.
Her
character
Malar
was
one
of
the
factors
why
the
movie
clicked
among
non-Malayalee
audiences.
The
actress,
who
is
currently
busy
with
her
upcoming
project
Virata
Parvam
with
Rana
Daggubati,
has
been
getting
big
offers
amid
the
COVID-19
lockdown.
If
the
latest
reports
have
anything
to
do
with
reality,
the
actress
was
offered
a
major
role
in
Chiranjeevi's
Acharya.
It
is
said
that
the
makers
had
approached
the
south
diva
to
essay
the
role
of
a
Naxalite
in
the
project.
Recent
grapevine
suggests
that
the
actress
rejected
the
offer,
citing
that
the
role
is
similar
to
her
character
in
Virata
Parvam.
However,
neither
the
actress
nor
the
makers
have
confirmed
about
approaching
her
for
the
pivotal
role.
Talking
more
about
Virata
Parvam,
the
first
look
poster
of
Sai
Pallavi
from
the
film
was
released
on
the
occasion
of
her
birthday.
The
intriguing
first
look
indeed
received
high
appreciation
from
the
netizens
and
the
critic.
The
movie
helmed
by
Venu
Udugula
is
bankrolled
by
Suresh
Productions
and
Sri
Lakshmi
Venkateswara
Cinemas.
Nandita
Das,
Priyamani,
Zareen
Wahab
and
Easwari
Rao
will
appear
in
pivotal
roles
in
the
movie.
On
the
other
hand,
Acharya
is
helmed
by
Koratala
Siva
and
has
been
bankrolled
by
Konidela
Productions
and
Matinee
Entertainments.
So
far,
40
percent
of
the
film's
shoot
has
been
completed
and
it
might
be
released
on
January
8,
2021.
The
movie
which
marks
the
152nd
venture
of
Chiranjeevi,
will
have
him
romancing
south
diva
Kajal
Aggarwal.
Sonu
Sood
has
also
been
roped
in
to
essay
a
pivotal
role
in
the
action-thriller.
