On the work front, the Hyderabad-based star was gearing up for the release of his latest ''Acharya'' but the movie was postponed owing to the rise in coronavirus cases across the country.

Directed by Koratala Siva, the Telugu action drama was set to be released in cinema halls countrywide on February 4.
