After
much
speculations
about
its
shooting
and
even
release,
the
makers
of
Chiranjeevi's
Lucifer
remake
commenced
the
pre-production
work
of
the
film
with
a
formal
pooja
ceremony.
The
event
took
place
on
July
22
in
Hyderabad.
To
announce
the
commencement,
the
production
designer
Suresh
Selvarajan
had
shared
a
few
pictures
from
the
film's
sets
featuring
himself
with
director
Mohan
Raja
and
the
crew
members
and
tweeted,
"Anything
new
gives
a
sense
of
happiness.
A
new
day
,
a
new
beginning.
Starting
set
work
for
my
new
film,
with
the
old
jitters
which
I
carried
along
from
first
film
to
every
new
film,
making
sure
if
I
can
pull
off
another
miracle
#setworkpooja
#started
#chiru153
#Megastar."
Well,
if
latest
reports
are
to
be
believed,
the
team
has
now
erected
some
massive
sets
for
shooting
the
Chiranjeevi-starrer.
According
to
reports,
the
film's
shooting
will
commence
in
the
days
to
come.
Let
us
tell
you
that
the
Megastar
is
presently
working
on
Koratala
Siva's
Acharya,
which
is
left
with
a
few
more
days
of
shooting.
The
Lucifer
remake,
tentatively
titled
#Chiru153
went
through
several
surprising
changes
previously.
Much
before
Mohan
Raja,
the
film
was
taken
up
by
Saaho
director
Sujeeth
and
VV
Vinayak
respectively.
However,
the
duo
was
seen
walking
out
of
the
project
due
to
reasons
best
known
to
them.
On
a
related
note,
if
reports
are
to
be
believed,
Nayanthara
will
be
pairing
opposite
Chiranjeevi
in
the
film.
If
the
rumour
turns
out
to
be
true,
the
Megastar
will
be
collaborating
with
the
Lady
Superstar
for
the
second
time
after
their
2019
film
Sye
Raa
Narasimha
Reddy
helmed
by
Surender
Reddy.
Coming
back
to
Lucifer,
the
film
backed
by
NV
Prasad
and
Konidela
Productions
is
the
official
Telugu
remake
of
the
Malayalam
film
Lucifer
(2019)
that
saw
Mohanlal
in
the
lead
role.
Directed
by
actor
Prithviraj
Sukumaran,
the
film
featured
an
ensemble
cast
including
Manju
Warrier,
Tovino
Thomas
and
Vivek
Oberoi.
The
shooting
of
its
sequel
Empuraan
is
yet
to
commence.
