On Monday, the GodFather teaser, starring ‘Megastar’ Chiranjeevi, was released. The video shows members of a political party queuing on either side of the street as a vintage car arrives. The car comes to a halt, and Chiranjeevi exits in style. He then starts walking in slow motion. The teaser was created with the sole intention of pleasing Chiranjeevi’s core fan base. In terms of plot, the promo offers very little.
The Telugu remake of the Malayalam blockbuster Lucifer is GodFather. Mohanlal played the lead in the 2019 film, which marked Prithviraj’s directorial debut. Prithviraj played a supporting role in the film in addition to directing it. It is expected that Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will play Prithviraj in the remake.
Mohan Raja, who has made a career out of doing Tamil remakes of Telugu films, wrote and directed the Telugu remake. Nayanthara also plays an important role in the film. She is said to be playing the role originally played by Manju Warrier in Malayalam.
Chiranjeevi was most recently seen in Acharya. The Koratala Siva-directed film about a Naxal leader who saves and liberates a temple town from a tyrant was a box office flop.
