Murali Gopy, known for penning films like Left Right Left and Ee Adutha Kaalath, has scripted Lucifer. It has been a long while since Mohanlal has done a political film, so the excitement level is high among the fans.

Prithviraj had earlier hinted that Lucifer like all other Murali Gopy scripts, will be an intense film that demands strong performances from the actors. He is hoping to make Lucifer as a film which is worthy of Mohanlal as an actor and a star. Vivek Oberoi and Indrajith have already been confirmed in the movie’s cast. Tovino Thomas, Murali Gopy, Manju Warrier and ‘Queen’ fame Saniya Iyappan are also rumoured to be part of Lucifer but the makers are yet to give an official word.

Gokul is directing this movie which is touted be a fun filled entertainer. ‘Vanamagan’ fame Sayyeshaa is paired opposite Vijay Sethupathi while Malayali actress Madonna Sebastian is also there in a crucial role in this movie.

Junga is Madonna’s third film with Vijay Setupathi after starring alongside him in ‘Kadhalum Kadandhu Pogum’ and ‘Kavan’. Their on-screen chemistry in both the movies were well appreciated. In a recent press meet held as part of Junga promotions, Madonna was all praise of Vijay Sethupathi.

She is quoted saying, “Vijay is like family to me. He is one of the finest actors I’ve ever come across. He made it so much easier for me than it would have been. I finished shooting for the movie in around 10-11 days but that is when I got into the groove of it. I missed the shooting from then. Since then I have been asking director Gokul about the release and its finally coming to screens this month.”

Junga is Vijay Setupathi’s second film with Gokul after the comic caper Idharkuthane Aasaipattai Balakumara (IAB). Junga is said to be a rom-com entertainer, which according to the makers, will be a lot more quirkier and interesting than the duo’s previous outing, IAB.
