Speculation that Mohan Babu has been approached to portray the antagonist in Chiranjeevi-Koratala Siva's upcoming film has been doing the rounds on social media recently.

However, a source from the production house has quashed all the reports and revealed that the team is yet to zero in on the actor to play the villain of the film. 

Popularly known as Chiru 152, the film also stars Ram Charan in a crucial cameo. Charan will start shooting for his part in April. 

Currently, filming is underway in Hyderabad and the makers have recently shot a special number featuring Chiru and Regina in a specially-constructed set at Kokapet.

Tentatively titled Acharya, the film is a social drama set against the backdrop of Srikakulam. Trisha is playing the female lead in the film, which is slated for release in August.
