Meanwhile, megastar Chiranjeevi also requested everyone to be safe and responsible. The actor has put the shooting of his upcoming film Acharya on hold. “This is everyone’s responsibility. I request all the producers to postpone the shootings for another 10 to 15 days since shootings require manpower of 100 to 200 people. Avoiding large-scale gathering is important to contain the spread of coronavirus,” Chiranjeevi said in a statement.
