There were multiple reports about Chiranjeevi’s Telugu remake of Vedhalam during the lockdown. In fact, the media extensively covered the details about the Vedalam remake at that time.
Even Acharya, Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film that was already on the sets was sidelined with too much emphasis on the Vedalam remake.
However, Chiranjeevi is not doing the remake of Vedhalam after Acharya. The Lucifer remake under Mohan Raja’s direction has been officially launched and it will go to sets shortly.
Buzz has it that Chiranjeevi has put Vedhalam remake on the backburner as of now.
Chiru wants to do movies that don't demand heavy duty fight scenes and dance numbers.
He is looking to slowly move away from such commercial potboilers and Lucifer is one such film that is loaded with mass elements and hero elevations where the protagonist need not do dances to please the masses.
