Following the disappointing performance of "Acharya" at the box office, Megastar Chiranjeevi expressed concerns about directors focusing more on business rather than creativity, leading many to speculate he was indirectly criticizing director Koratala Siva. However, Siva has come forward to address these rumors, stating that the interpretations are exaggerated. “No, people have blown things out of proportion. There is no truth in that,” he clarified during a media interaction promoting Jr NTR's upcoming film "Devara," set to release this Friday.

Koratala Siva shared that Chiranjeevi was one of the first to reach out to him after "Acharya," sending a supportive message saying, “Siva, you will bounce back strongly.” This encouragement fueled Siva's determination as he shifted focus to his next project. Reflecting on his preparation for "Devara," Siva remarked, “When we don’t write the first exam well, we will surely prepare for the next one better.” He wasted no time, diving into work on "Devara" just three days after "Acharya's" release, aiming to unveil the motion poster by May 20.

Siva emphasized that the setback of "Acharya" motivated him to double his efforts for "Devara," ensuring that it meets audience expectations and entertains fans in a significant way. His dedication and proactive approach highlight his commitment to delivering a compelling cinematic experience.
