Lucifer is one of the super successful movies in Malayalam film industry. Star Malayalam hero Prithviraj Sukumaran made his debut as a director with the movie.

Megastar Chiranjeevi purchased the remake rights of the movie. Chiranjeevi confirmed the same during the promotions of his dream project Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy in Kerala. The latest update on the film is that Sujeeth will helm the movie in Telugu.

Megastar Chiranjeevi is in talks with multiple directors, soon after the release of Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. Chiranjeevi badly wants to do the film as soon as possible. Immediately after the release of Acharya, Chiranjeevi wants to take the project to the sets. Chiranjeevi already discussed the script with Paruchuri brothers, Satyanand, V.V. Vinayak, Srinu Vaitla and other filmmakers. Finally, Chiranjeevi impressed with Sujeeth's suggestions and changes for the original script. NV Prasad is a popular producer who might produce the film. Sujeeth already met Chiranjeevi twice and is currently in touch with Ram Charan. Most likely, Chiranjeevi will take the final decision on the same, once the lockdown ends. Chiranjeevi wants to go with Sujeeth, since he thinks the young director could do the justice for the film. The heroic elevations and the mass elements are key aspects of the movie. Sujeeth who handled Saaho can surely take the film to a successful path.
