Chiranjeevi’s next is not the remake of Lucifer

‘Chiranjeevi 152’ was launched recently and shoot is set to begin soon. For the last few weeks, there were speculations about it being the remake of Malayalam blockbuster ‘Lucifer’. It was reported that Chiranjeevi will be reprising the role played by Mohanlal in the original. There were also rumours about Pawan Kalyan and Ram Charan also starring in the film, reprising the roles done by Prithviraj and Tovino, but nothing has materialized yet.

Instead, ‘Chiranjeevi 152’ is getting ready as a fresh subject. Kortala Siva is directing the film that has the star playing the role of a powerful don. The film is inspired from several real-life incidents that occurred in the Telugu speaking states in recent years. It is about a middle-aged naxalite-turned-social reformer who launches a fight against the system. Chiranjeevi will be appearing in two different looks. Popular South Indian actress Trisha has been signed as the female lead.

Niranjan Reddy of Matinee Entertainment is producing the film in association with Ram Charan’s Konidela Productions.
