Acharya is tentatively slated to hit the screens this summer and will see actor Sonu Sood playing the role of antagonist. Touted to be a social drama, Acharya will feature Kajal Aggarwal in the female lead.
Earlier, the makers had Trisha as the leading lady, who opted out of the film citing creative differences. Last March, Trisha took to Twitter to reveal that she’s opting out of Acharya. She wrote: “Sometimes things turn out to be different from what was initially said and discussed. Due to creative differences, I have chosen not to be part of Chiranjeevi sir’s film. Wishing the team well. To my lovely Telugu audiences- hope to see you soon in an exciting project.”

Ram Charan will be seen playing an extended cameo in Acharya, and it is reported that Pooja Hegde will be seen as his love interest. However, there has been no official update regarding her starring in the film.
Produced by Ram Charan and Niranjan Reddy under the Konidela Production Company and Matinee Entertainment banners, Acharya 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.
