Chiranjeevi is currently busy with Acharya under the direction of Koratala Shiva and the Malayalam film Lucifer remake under the direction of Mohana Raja of Thani Oruvan fame.
It is known that Chiranjeevi asked Mohan Raja to make changes in Lucifer original script keeping in the sensitivities of Telugu movie lovers. As such Mohan Raja included a flashback for Chiranjeevi's role and also planning to cast a heroine opposite him.
Talks have it that the makers are planning to finalise Nayanathara opposite Chiranjeevi. Buzz's role will be very small like guest appearance. So the director is also considering Anushka Shetty's name. But many are wondering whether the inclusion of a flashback episode in the Lucifer remake will be a drawback like the one that happened in Pawan Kalyan's Vakeel Saab.
It is known that in Vakeel Saab, the makers made changes in the script of Pink original and included a flashback. Everyone felt that the flashback scenes between Pawan Kalyan and Shruti Haasan turned out to be the biggest drawback in the film. Many think, even if Lucifer remake has a heroine, her presence will be inconsequential in front of Chiranjeevi's craze.
