Megastar Chiranjeevi is working on Acharya currently and he has already lined up three other projects including the remakes of Lucifer and Vedhalam. He is also interested in working with Bobby for a commercial entertainer.
Initially, Chiranjeevi planned to take Vedhalam remake onto the floors ahead of Lucifer remake and Meher Ramesh, who will be directing the former had even started finalizing the lead cast and technical crew. If things went as planned, Vedhalam remake would have started rolling by late January or early February.
However, Chiranjeevi seems to have changed his mind after noted director, Mohan Raja came on-board for Lucifer remake. Apparently, Mohan Raja promised to complete Lucifer remake in quick and successive schedules and Chiranjeevi has prioritised this project over Vedhalam remake how. He wants to kick-start Lucifer remake first and then move on to Vedhalam remake.
The makers of Lucifer remake had recently announced that the project will start rolling post Sankranti. Our sources close to the movie unit have confirmed that the regular shoot will commence from February. Chiru will be simultaneously shooting for Acharya and Lucifer remake until he wraps up the former.
Now that Lucifer remake has been pushed forward, Vedhalam remake will start rolling only from April or later.
