Actor Kajal Aggarwal has been signed as the replacement for Trisha, who recently opted out of Chiranjeevi’s upcoming Telugu film Acharya. As per reports, as soon as Trisha chose to exit the project over creative differences, the makers approached Kajal for the role.

Meanwhile, the makers on Sunday announced that they’ve stopped shooting in the wake of coronavirus scare and will not resume until further notice. The movie will revolve around a middle-aged Naxalite-turned-social reformer who launches a fight against the Endowments Department over misappropriation and embezzlement of temple funds and donations. Ram Charan might play Chiranjeevi’s younger version in the flashback portion.

The project was officially launched last October. If everything goes as planned, Mahesh Babu might be seen playing an extended cameo. Originally, the makers had planned to sign Ram Charan; however, since he’s occupied with SS Rajamouli’s RRR; they chose Mahesh instead.

The film will have cinematography by Tirru while Sreekar Prasad will take care of editing. Suresh Selvarajan will handle the production design.
