Megastar Chiranjeevi Prevents The Makers From Selling Distribution Rights of 'Godfather'?

Hyderabad, September 15 - After the debacle box office performance of Acharya, Megastar Chiranjeevi is gearing up for the release of his next, titled Godfather. The remake of the Malayalam movie "Lucifer", the upcoming film also stars Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and Nayanthara in key roles.

According to the latest reports, "Godfather" will be released by the producers themselves as Chiranjeevi has reportedly prevented them to sell the distribution rights of the movie for both domestic and overseas markets.



"Godfather" is produced by RB Choudary and NV Prasad while the presenter is Konidela Productions banner. According to greatandhra.com, Chiranjeevi has advised the producers not to sell the film at higher prices but only release it against advances. NV Prasad is believed to be very close to Chiranjeevi and he has his own distribution network.

Megastar Chiranjeevi's last two films - "Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy" and "Acharya" didn't work out at the box office. While "Sye Raa" was still a decent box office outing, "Acharya" did cause huge losses to the distributors which might have forced Chiranjeevi to think differently for "Godfather" or he might have anticipated the movie to become a sure-shot hit.

"Godfather" is a political action film directed by Mohan Raja. It also stars Satyadev Kancharana, Puri Jagannadh, Murali Sharma, Samuthirakani, and Tanya Ravichandran among others in key roles. The movie is scheduled to release on 5 October 2022, coinciding with the festival of Vijayadashami, in Telugu and Hindi.
