The mega flop of “Acharya” will haunt Megastar Chiranjeevi for a long time. He didn’t expect such a colossal failure.
Chiranjeevi has lined up many films with each of them bringing him a paycheck of Rs 40 to 50 crore. He wanted to inspire other stars to sign more films so that it would give more work to the cine labor.
However, the debacle of “Acharya” has sized down his market.
Films like “Godfather” and “Bholaa Shankar”, which are scheduled to hit the theaters soon, will suffer mainly. The pre-release business will not be big.
There is a strong buzz that he may push “Bholaa Shankar” to 2023 to avoid an unnecessary burden on his producers.
Director Bobby’s “Waltair Veerayya” will also get released next year. Director Venky Kudumula’s film will get delayed.
