Telugu actor Chiranjeevi on Monday announced that he has tested positive for coronavirus. The 65-year-old actor said that he did a COVID-19 test as part of the safety protocol before joining the sets of his upcoming movie Acharya.
In a letter to his fans, he wrote, “I am currently asymptomatic & quarantining myself at home. Request all those who met me in the last 5 few days to also undergo covid tests. Will update you on my recovery soon.”
For those unaware, Acharya is written and directed by Koratala Siva. The shoot came to a halt in March following the coronavirus-induced lockdown. It is said that Acharya revolves around the struggles of a communist ideologue.
The film, also starring Kajal Aggarwal, is being bankrolled by Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan under his Konidela Productions Company.
