Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan’s ‘Acharya’ is arriving in theatres worldwide on the 29 April. The principle cast and crew has been interacting with the media for the past few days.
Director Koratala Siva and his comment on Kajal Aggarwal who was initially roped in to play the female lead role in the film has grabbed the attention of the fans.
“Yes, I did rope in Kajal for a role in the film. At first, I penned a funny role for Kajal and we brought her onboard. But as we shot the portion and saw the same on the editing table, my opinion was that the role wasn’t blending into the narrative. I then felt it wouldn’t be right to cast an actress like Kajal for a miniature role. I spoke with Chiranjeevi garu about the same and we came to a conclusion that editing out Kajal’s character in the film was the right thing to do. Her character was damaging the flow of the film and we had to make the tough call.” Siva said.
Koratala went on to add that he himself personally called Kajal and let her know about his decision to edit out her portion for the betterment of the narrative. However, the director assured that Kajal will be seen in the ‘Laahe Laahe’ song.
