Megastar Chiranjeevi and his son Ram Charan worked together for the first time for Acharya, an action-packed mass entertainer. Koratala Siva is the director and Pooja Hegde is paired beside Ram Charan in the film. Acharya collected a theatrical share of Rs 47.87 crores in its first week across the globe. Acharya is the biggest ever disaster in the history of Indian cinema and the film's theatrical rights are sold for Rs 130 crores. The distributors are losing more than Rs 80 crores because of the film.

Koratala Siva and Chiranjeevi along with the producers' Matinee Entertainments will compensate the losses. Chiranjeevi flew to USA for a vacation and will return back to India in a month. Ram Charan is back to the sets of Shankar's film and the shoot is happening in Vizag. Koratala Siva will take a long break and he will recover from the debacle of Acharya. He will soon direct NTR in his next film and the project will get delayed for now. Here are the first week collections of Acharya:
