In helm Can I change the chart name of a chart that is already up

Question

I'm using Helm to upgrade my k8s environment and I'm wondering, if I can change the release name of a deployed release using the upgrade command (or any other way)?

example:

helm upgrade --set image.tag='12.55.6-2' zk-chart /path/to/helm/files

So that zk-chart will change to new-zk-chart, without downtime so I don't want to delete the release and create it again.

You cannot do this.
