Megastar Chiranjeevi who was suppose to commence shooting for his latest film Acharya had undergone the Coronavirus test and results were positive.

The 65-year-old actor said that hehad undergone a mandatory COVID-19 test as part of the safety protocol before joining the sets of his upcoming movie Acharya. “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,” he said in a letter to fans and the media.

In an update from his Twitter handle he had said that though he had no symptoms though he had tested positive and was going into home quarantine.He also requested those who had met him in the  past few days to get themselves tested as well.

Chiranjeevi's much awaited Acharya was suppose to start shooting but was halted due to COVID. Now with him going into quarantine the shooting will be stalled for another fifteen days. We also have to wait and see if his wife Surekha, mother Anjana and his grandchildren whom he had been interacting with are fine.

It may be recollected that Megastar had turned chef at home and shared a cute video of him cooking KFC chicken for his grandaughters  Nivrithi and Samhitha which he posted on his Social media handles  with a caption ,'' it's always fun to cook, even more so when your Assistants are such enthusiastic little kids! So let's see how this pans out :)
