Your presence will no doubt give that magical #KICK to the audience. @jayam_mohanraja @AlwaysRamCharan", tweeted Chiranjeevi, who is fondly known as megastar.
According to IANS, the makers have set a short schedule for Salman Khan's shooting in Hyderabad. It is reported that Salman Khan is playing a key role in the Chiranjeevi movie, which is helmed by Mohan Raja. Godfather has actor Nayanthara essaying the role of the female lead. Satya Dev will appear in a pivotal role as well.
Produced by Konidela Production Company and Super Good Films, the film's music is by popular composer Thaman S. Godfather is the Telugu remake of Malayalam movie Lucifer. According to reports, Salman will be reprising Prithviraj’s role from the original, while Chiranjeevi will be stepping into the shoes of Mohanlal’s character.

2019 Malayalam film Lucifer marked actor-director Prithviraj Sukumaran’s directorial debut. His second directorial venture Bro Daddy which also starred Mohanlal and himself in the lead, streamed on Over-the-top (OTT) platform Disney Plus Hotstar earlier this year. Billed as an entertaining family drama, the film discusses unplanned pregnancy. Interestingly, Mohanlal, who is working on his directorial debut Barroz, has roped in actor Prithviraj for an important role. The movie is expected to hit the big screens later this year.
