Telugu superstar Allu Arjun is basking in the blockbuster success of his recent film Ala Vaikunthapurramloo, directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The action-drama also starred Pooja Hegde, Jayaram, Murali Sharma in important roles.
Lately, social media is rife with speculations suggesting that Allu Arjun will be reprising the role played by Prithviraj in the Telugu remake of the Malayalam blockbuster Lucifer, which starred Mohanlal as the protagonist.
When we checked with Allu Arjun's team, they have strongly denied the above buzz as a rumour. Allu Arjun will be next seen as the lead in Arya 2 director Sukumar's upcoming film Pushpa, and the first look presented the actor in a rugged avatar.
Chiranjeevi will be starring in the Telugu remake of Lucifer, with Saaho director Sujeeth expected to direct the film. The 2019 original marked the directorial debut of actor Prithviraj, who had also played the role of a hitman in the film. The team will be returning again for the film's sequel, titled Empuraan.
