If
not
for
the
second
wave
of
COVID-19,
Acharya
would
have
completed
more
than
a
month
of
its
release
now.
The
Chiranjeevi-Ram
Charan-starrer
was
slated
to
release
on
May
13,
however,
it
was
postponed
owing
to
the
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown
that
again
delayed
the
film's
shooting.
Well
now,
with
the
pandemic
condition
gradually
coming
under
control,
makers
are
planning
to
release
the
film
by
the
end
of
this
year.
If
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
team
has
currently
decided
to
lock
Dussehra
for
Acharya's
release
and
if
everything
goes
well
and
good,
the
action
drama
will
be
out
on
the
festive
occasion
in
October
this
year.
Reportedly,
the
team
will
announce
new
release
date
after
the
current
condition
returns
back
to
normalcy.
On
a
related
note,
Acharya's
shooting
will
resume
from
July
7.
Cast
members
including
Chiranjeevi,
Ram
Charan,
Kajal
Aggarwal
and
Pooja
Hegde
will
reportedly
be
a
part
of
the
schedule.
It
is
said
that
the
whole
shooting
will
be
completed
in
the
given
schedule
and
the
release
date
will
be
announced
considering
the
same.
