Covid-19 effect had been far-reaching and deplorable. Despite the unlocking phase, signs of its diminishing is still uncertain. After the restrictions were lifted, the film fraternity rejoiced in hope that they can shoot with limited crew. However, it effected big time as the film makers are still struggling to complete their pending shoots.

In this context, Director Koratala Siva of Chiranjeevi’s Acharya believed that shooting action sequences during covid time is quite difficult because the other cast members have to under go covid test for it. This is because it encompasses a lot of movement and inclusion of additional crew that include stunt coordinators, director and their assistants. Although the makers in the recent times offered all necessary safety, it requires Covid testing when there is a new crew involved as per the revised Covid-19 compliant guidelines.

So this delayed Acharya’s shoot that was scheduled for today in Hyderabad. Now the director has to wait for two more days to get the covid test results so that he can resume shooting with the cast.
