Chiranjeevi tragically passed away in June 2020, two years after marrying Meghana, due to cardiac arrest. Chiru's brother Dhruva Sarja has stepped in to help the producers of the RajaMarthanda, by agreeing to dub for his brother's character.
On Chiru’s birth anniversary in October last year, a single from RajaMarthanda was released. The film’s shooting has been wrapped up and it is currently in the post-production mode. Reports are that Chiru wasn’t able to complete dubbing for RajaMarthanda and his brother and actor Dhruva Sarja will be doing it now to ensure the film releases without any hitches.
Ramnarayan is directing this entertainer which has Om Prakash Rao making a cameo appearance. Deepti Sati plays the female lead in it. Triveni, who was seen in Tagaru, is the second female lead. Arjun Janya is the music composer for this flick and the cinematography is done by Jabez K Ganesh.
On October 17, Chiranjeevi’s family, the film fraternity, and fans celebrated his birth anniversary. On his birthday eve, his film Shivarjuna was re-released. Incidentally, the film had hit the theatres before the lockdown was announced in March this year.
