Actor Ram Charan said it wasn't his decision to work with his father and actor Chiranjeevi in 'Acharya', however, added, "the director and the script demanded it."
He also said, “(It was) not like we both decided (Chiranjeevi and him)...come on, let's make a movie together. I think the director and the script demanded it and Rajamouli sir gave the time off the sets (of RRR) for my film (Acharya) and it meant a lot. More than for me, it meant a lot for my mother."
Acharya, as per reports, will be about a middle-aged Naxalite-turned-social reformer who launches a fight against the Endowments Department over misappropriation and embezzlement of temple funds and donations.
The film originally was supposed to mark Trisha’s return to Telugu films after many years. However, she opted out of the project due to creative differences. She was eventually replaced by Kajal Aggarwal.
The film also stars Pooja Hegde opposite Ram Charan.
