If there is any remakes specialists in Tollywood when it comes to star heroes, it is none other than Megastar Chiranjeevi as 90% of his remake movies worked out well at the box office.
At a time when his career is in slumps, films like Hitler and then Tagore, have bounced him back to a new level, while Kaththi remake Khaidi No 150 made his re-entry memorable.
Recently Chiranjeevi surprised everyone by owning the remake rights of Malayalam blockbuster “Lucifer” whose Telugu dubbed version failed to click at the box office.
And many are waiting to see who will be directing this film as star Telugu directors are often not interested in remakes, and Vinayak has done only partial justice to Khaidi No 150 with his direction capabilities.
Reports are coming up that director Sukumar got convinced by Chiranjeevi to helm this remake and the film might go on floors after Megastar wraps his current project with Koratala Siva. But then, Sukumar must also wrap his commitment with Allu Arjun, before taking up this film.
