Chiru Finalizes Heroine For Charan

Megastar Chiranjeevi is getting ready to expose the scams and irregularities in the temple funds in the Endowments Department turning Acharya under the direction of Koratala Siva.

It is known that while Chiranjeevi is playing dual roles, one as a Naxal, his son mega power star Ram Charan will be seen in a powerful role of a student leader in the film.

The makers planned to rope in Mahesh Babu for the role due to Ram Charan's busy schedule in Rajamouli's RRR multi starrer. But high remuneration demands by Mahesh undid all their plans and Chiranjeevi decided to cast Ram Charan as usual.

Earlier reports came that the makers planned to cast Kiara Advani as the heroine opposite Mahesh and they would persist with her for Ram Charan.

Now sources say Chiranjeevi recommended the name of Sandalwood beauty Rashmika Mandanna. Buzz is Chiranjeevi is impressed with Rashmika's beauty and performances in her previous films.

The makers are on the verge of finalizing heroine opposite Chiranjeevi. Names of Kajal and Trisha did rounds but the makers are keen to have Anushka as the female lead.
