Top director Koratala Siva waited for two complete years for the arrival of Megastar Chiranjeevi. Their film Acharya started rolling early this year and a portion of the film has been shot. Chiranjeevi suggested Ram Charan for one of the roles but his arrival would be not easy as he is busy with the shoot of RRR. At this time, Koratala felt that Mahesh Babu would be the perfect choice for the role and approached Mahesh without informing Chiranjeevi.
Once the news came out, Chiranjeevi was unhappy. There is a communication gap between Chiranjeevi and Koratala because of the issue. It is heard that Chiranjeevi is strong on Ram Charan after Mahesh quoted huge remuneration for the film. Ram Charan will play the role at any cost. Ram Charan is trying to patch up Chiranjeevi and Koratala Siva. Trisha walked out and the female lead is finalized. The film releases in August.
