Earlier, Megastar Chiranjeevi completed his works for Acharya that is likely to have a theatrical release in January 2022. Last week, the Megastar's upcoming 153rd film went on the floors on a set at the Aluminum factory in Hyderabad. Kollywood director Mohan Raja is directing this movie backed by producer NV Prasad and Konidela Productions.

Tentatively named 'Chiru 153,' this project is the official remake of the acclaimed Malayalam blockbuster 'Lucifer' starring Mohan Lal. The original version featured Lal Ettan as a powerful politician. It was helmed by Lal's ardent fan and actor Prithvi Raj. Given that Lucifer is a multi-starrer that also features Prithvi Raj, Vivek Oberoi, Manju Warrier and Tovino Thomas, fans are eagerly waiting to see who are going to reprise these roles played by the aforementioned actors.

The latest buzz is that the team approached the Bollywood star Salman Khan to reprise Prithvi's role in Chiru 153. Also, some sources say that Salman Bhai has rejected the offer as he is quite busy with his Hindi projects. According to the inside sources, the team has also approached the Kollywood star Chiyaan Vikram for the cameo. We have to wait to hear from the Chiru 153 team to know if the speculations were true.

Reportedly, Nayanthara will be playing the leading lady in Chiru 153. Also, the makers have finalised 'God Father' as the title of Lucifer Telugu remake according to some inside sources. Thaman S is scoring music for the film while Nirav Shah cranks the camera.
