There is hearsay that Vinayak was kept away from the Lucifer remake.
Nobody is able to make Chiranjeevi excited with their value addition to the existing script of that Malayalam film.
Ram Charan bought the remake rights of that film with the advice of Sukumar. But when Sukumar was asked to make it better to be in tune with Megastar's image, he failed to impress.
Then Ram Charan brought Sujeeth into the picture. But even he couldn't fill the requirement. Then VV Vinayak came onto the board. Now an interesting gossip is being heard about this.
It seems that Vinayak, with his team has come up with many added scenes in the script with lots of humor in it. But as per the grapevine, Chiranjeevi listened to everything and finally said to Vinayak, "Let us do some other project. Leave it here".
Megastar shared the experiences to some of his friends stating that the original script shouldn't get spoiled with the forced comedy scenes and his intention is to take the script to the next level without any deviation.
Now there is another hearsay that Harish Shankar is being considered for the same. We have to see where it goes.
Many in the media circle are discussing this by comparing it to Siva Dhanassu.
A film journalist said, "Lucifer remake is like Siva Dhanassu. Many powerful directors are attempting but failing. We have to see who lifts it and gets the garland from Chiranjeevi".
