After the debacle of Acharya, Chiranjeevi pinned a lot of hopes on this political drama. As mentioned many times during promotions, Chiranjeevi’s Godfather is a more commercialized version of Mohanlal’s Malayalam Blockbuster ‘Lucifer’.
The film’s theatrical rights are valued at 80Cr and it has recovered just 58% In 5 days. The Weekend collections are particularly disappointing, especially considering everyone expected the film would have a big jump. It maintained the same collections as Friday. The Monday started on a very average note and now it appears that Godfather may not reach the breakeven mark.
Chiranjeevi’s Godfather now needs some miracle and a steady run for at least another 2 weeks for entering the profit zone. But looking at the current trends, that looks highly unlikely. In addition to these issues, Godfather’s overseas release was handled pretty poorly by the makers. The poor planning was quite visible in the main territories for Telugu markets like Australia, the UK, Chennai, and other overseas countries.
The original starred Mohanlal and Prithviraj played a cameo. Nayantara played a key role alongside Satyadev and Malayalam actor Indrajith Sukumaran. Salman Khan is playing an extended cameo in this project.
