“After the loss of Acharya, Ramcharan and I gave 80% of the money to the producers. We take full responsibility for the failure of the film,” said actor Chiranjeevi.
‘Acharya’ starring Telugu cinema’s leading actors Chiranjeevi and his son Rama Charan. Expectations were high as both father and son acted together. The film was directed by the leading director of Telugu cinema, Koratala Siva. Before this he directed films like ‘Bharath Ane Nenu’ with Mahesh Babu and ‘Janatha Karake’ with Jr. NTR. Produced by Ram Charan, the film was released on April 29. However, the film received negative reviews on the first day of its release, and fans lost interest in the film.
The distributors have requested Chiranjeevi to compensate the loss caused by this film. A distributor named Rajgopal Bajaj had written a letter to Chiranjeevi in this regard. In it, he has sought compensation for the substantial loss caused by ‘Acharya’. He has claimed that he has lost up to 75% on this film and has requested help to cover the financial crunch caused by it.
In this case, in a press conference, Chiranjeevi answered a question regarding this, he said, “After the loss of Acharya film, Ram Charan and I have given 80% of the money to the producers. We take full responsibility for the failure of the film. I don’t have any guilt about Acharya’s film,” he said.
