Acharya, starring Ram Charan and Chiranjeevi, bombed at the box office, grossing barely Rs 76 crore in the domestic market. According to recent reports, the father and son duo paid Rs 20 crore out of their own pockets to compensate the exhibitors for their losses.
It was previously reported that 25 exhibitors had been protesting outside Koratala Siva’s office since last night after the film’s box office failure. According to reports, the exhibitors have threatened to stage a demonstration outside Chiranjeevi’s home if the matter is not resolved.
According to Pinkvilla, a distributor called Rajgopal Bajaj wrote to Chiranjeevi, asking for compensation for the damages incurred by Acharya. According to reports, Bajaj invested a large sum of money in the film because of the excitement around Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan’s partnership on the big screen.
Acharya is an action-drama film that was released in theatres in April of this year. The film was directed by Korala Siva and stars Ram, Chiranjeevi and Pooja Hegde. The film was projected to do well at the box office, but it bombed badly, prompting the distributors and exhibitors to seek recompense just a few months ago.
Meanwhile, Ram Charan is now working on the much-awaited films, RC15 and RC 16. Megastar Chiranjeevi, on the other hand, is presently filming his next film, GodFather. It is a Telugu adaptation of the Malayalam blockbuster Lucifer. Salman Khan will appear in a cameo role, and Nayanthara will play the female lead in the film.
