Chiranjeevi is on cloud nine as his recently released film GodFather, a Telugu remake of Mohanlal’s Malayalam film Lucifer, became a blockbuster success. Despite being a remake, GodFather managed to impress audiences with its originality and also opened to a good response at the box office on October 5. Directed by Mohan Raja, the film featured Salman Khan, Nayanthara, Satyadev, and Puri Jagannadh in key roles. 

With the success of GodFather, Chiranjeevi went live on Instagram with director Puri Jagannadh and treated fans with interesting things. The duo spoke about Acharya, Liger debacle, Pawan Kalyan’s cameo in Godfather, updates on upcoming films, and more. 

Chiranjeevi on Acharya debacle

Chiranjeevi opened up about the colossal failure of Acharya, which featured Ram Charan along with him and was directed by Siva Koratala. “I take full responsibility when a film fails and I take the failure of Acharya in my stride. I have no guilt feeling about doing the film. In fact, both Ram Charan and I returned 80 percent of our remuneration to the producer,” the megastar said in the live session with Puri Jagganadh.

During a chat with director Puri Jagannadh, Megastar said that Pawan Kalyan too could have done justice to Salman’s character. “Pawan Kalyan would be the right choice and he would have done it If asked. Kalyan doing it would have brought equal craze to that character. But we wanted an actor who has a good craze in the south and north. Even Kalyan would have said that Salman Khan doing the role is apt,” he said.

Despite huge buzz and anticipation, Puri Jagannadh’s directorial Liger starring Vijay Deverakonda failed to perform well at the box office. The director for the first time reacted to the failure of Liger and said, “I was engaged with Liger for three years, but it was a failure. I enjoyed shooting for 3 years. I was low only for a few days. I got to know that Liger is a flop on Friday and by Sunday I went to gym and did 100 squats and I have released all my stress.”
