The move to remake Malayalam blockbuster film Lucifer in Telugu was reported much early but there was some confusion over the choice of its hero. It is Chiranjeevi who has bought the copy rights for the Telugu remake of the film.

In the Telugu version, he will be playing the role played by Mohanlal in the original version. Initially, there were rumours that Paval Kalyan will be the hero but now it is confirmed that Chiranjeevi will do that role as he is deemed the apt person to handle the mass role immortalised by Mohanlal in the original version.

Saho director Sujith will direct the Telugu version of Lucifer. Once the Corona fear subsides, the shoot will start. Lucifer is the film that was born out of Mohanlal-Prithviraj friendship. Murali Gopy had scripted the film. Lucifer had gone on to become a super hit and a milestone in the history of Malayalam cinema.
