Actor Ram Charan on Saturday said he has resumed shooting for action drama "Acharya", starring his father superstar Chiranjeevi in the lead. The Telugu movie, directed by Koratala Siva, features Charan in a pivotal role. The 36-year-old actor in a social media post informed about recommencement of shoot. "Shoot resumes for #Acharya!," Charan wrote alongside his character poster from the film.

As per media reports, Chiranjeevi, 65, resumed the filming three days ago. According to sources close to the film, 90 per cent of the shoot was completed before the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic hit India. The film, also starring Kajal Aggarwal, Sonu Sood and Pooja Hegde, was slated to arrive in cinema halls on May 13 but due to the COVID-19 outbreak and theatre shutdown across the country, the makers have postponed the release.
