The actor was last year tested positive for the virus before he was supposed to kick-start shooting for the film. Pawan Kalyan released a statement on the occasion and reinstated that his brother has always followed all coronavirus guidelines to remain safe. In a statement released on his political party’s social media, he wrote, “My brother Sri Chiranjeevi has not only taken many precautions since the announcement of lockdown but also created awareness for everyone. He has been taking up various service activities as a social responsibility. Having complete knowledge about public health, he takes many precautions for his health too. In the process, we are all shocked when Sri Chiranjeevi got inflicted with Corona. There are no symptoms, but it showed positive in the result. I pray the God for the early recovery of my brother Sri Chiranjeevi.” (sic)

Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi will be seen sharing screen space with his son Ram Charan in Acharya. Although Chiranjeevi did appear in cameos in a couple of Ram Charan’s films and Ram Charan turned producer for his father’s recent films, the duo’s fans have yearned to see the iconic duo work together in a film. Talking about the same, Ram Charan shared that it will be an absolute honor for him to share the same frame as his father. He added that also it won't be a cameo appearance but a full-fledged role for him. He thanked his director of Acharya, Koratala Siva to make this happen.
