Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi had recently announced that he had bagged the remake rights of Malayalam blockbuster film 'Lucifer'. While Sujeeth, who directed 'Saaho' will be directing the Telugu version, sources claim that veteran actress Suhasini Maniratnam has been roped in to play the character played by Manju Warrier in the original.
Though initial reports suggested that actress Vijayashanthi was being considered for the role, the actress apparently turned down the offer. Following this, Suhasini was approached and she immediately agreed to be a part of the movie. Meanwhile, reports also claim that actor Rana Daggubati has been approached to play a cameo in the film.
Lucifer, directed by actor Prithviraj, went on to collect Rs 200 crore at the box office. Apart from Mohanlal, the film had Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas and Vivek Oberoi playing pivotal roles.
