Speaking about his project ‘Acharya’ it is directed by Koratala Siva and is about the struggles of a communist ideologue. The film also features Kajal Aggarwal and is produced by Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan under his Konidela Productions Company. Apart from this, he will also be seen in the Telugu remake of Lucifer that will be directed by V.V. Vinayak.
Coming back to the celebs who have tested COVID-19 positive, they are Rajamouli, Keeravani, Bandla Ganesh, Tamannaah among others.
