Star director Koratala Siva is known for his commercially viable film with strong social messages. Right from his first film ‘Mirchi’ to his last outing ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’, his films gave strong messages which were wrapped in mass elements like over-the-top fights and songs. Also, all the heroes in his films are outsiders who arrive to solve the problems of people.
Prabhas lives in the city but ends the dispute between the two villages in ‘Mirchi’. Mahesh is a rich man who adopts a village and ends up getting close to everyone in ‘Srimanthudu’. NTR is a student and an environmentalist who comes to Hyderabad and takes over the responsibilities of ‘Janatha Garage’ from Mohanlal. Mahesh lives in a foreign country all through his life before arriving back to AP and ends up being a Chief Minister who stands by the people.
Seems like he planned the same thing for ‘Acharya’ too. Going by the trailer, one can guess that Chiranjeevi has no connection to Dharmasthali village but arrives there to keep up his promise given to SIddha’s role played by Charan. How he solves their issues and protects them at all costs forms the rest of the story. Koratala seems to be using the same formula again and again. Even at the time of ‘Mirchi’, people criticized the film saying that it had ‘Bhadra’ shades which was written by Koratala Siva.
Some experts are saying that it is high time the super hit director changes his story and surprises the audience with a fresh concept. Let us wait and see if it happens or not.
