Megastar Chiranjeevi’s reputation is far too illustrious to be dented by one single failure. There’s a malicious campaign surrounding Acharya now. That’s been the case all the while as a few people didn’t even like the combo materializing. A section spread rumors that the project was halted right after it started shoot. Then when the film released, the magnitude of negativity was humongous.
Acharya was targeted by both the mainstream political parties in Andhra Pradesh with vested interests. It was an attempt to crack a hole in the mega composing. The campaign was so very illogical that a single flop can’t affect Chiru’s stardom in any which way.
On Twitter, there’s a tag going around with the name “Justice For Koratala”. Nandamuri fans, Jr NTR’s fans, Mahesh Babu’s fans, Prabhas’s fans, Allu Arjun’s fans and others are associated with it.
Barring the advances, Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan didn’t take a single penny for Acharya. Koratala himself confirmed the same on several occasions. In view of the film’s debacle, Chiranjeevi returned Rs 20 crore.
Acharya’s pre-release business was rampant and the film was sold for high prices. Koratala Siva is being it. He was the one who had to bear the losses and the profits. But Chiranjeevi did the generous thing by returning the said amount. If anything, Koratala was the one who bought in Ram Charan idea for Acharya which was originally designed exclusively for Chiranjeevi. Chiru then had to take the responsibility of convincing Rajamouli and bringing Charan on-board.
The said fan bases should note that their heroes delivered multiple disasters and there were times when their directors and producers hit the rock bottom. There were instances when even their hits incurred losses to producers. Funny to see them commenting on Chiranjeevi now.
Yellow Web media is crying foul on Chiranjeevi and Charan, saying their reputations have taken a beating and their careers are at crossroads. The Kula Gajji is to be seen here.
We don’t hear production house’s name and there’s no substantial pressure on Koratala, but all the cry is on Chiru and Charan.
Chiranjeevi is a Megastar who delivered a 100 crore film with his comeback flick Khaidi No. 150 which was made after Chiranjeevi was busy with politics for 9 years and then made a comeback. Such is his image.
