It has been nearly 5 years since director Mohan Raja had a release with his last release being the Sivakarthikeyan starrer Velaikkaran way back in 2017. Avid and loyal fans of both him and his work have been waiting eagerly, but patiently, for his next venture which he finally announced is going to be Godfather, an official remake of the Malayalam blockbuster film Lucifer which came out in 2019 starring Mohanlal.

Shooting has been going on for the last few weeks in full fledge and while the film is closing in on its finishing touches and ultimate wrap up, it was announced just a few days back that Bollywood's Superstar Salman Khan has also joined the cast of the film. This was explosive news as the world will now get to witness the coming together of two of the biggest actors (Megastar Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan) from their respective film industries. The film will also mark the Telugu debut of the Bollywood actor who will be seen playing a crucial extended cameo in the film.

It was only a few days back until Mohan Raja wrapped up shooting the portions that required Salman Khan. He recently took to Twitter to cherish the good times he had spent with the Bollywood star on the sets of Godfather. He shared a short video consisting of a number of pictures he had taken with Salman Khan on the sets of the film. He also attached a heartfelt caption along with it that read, "Finished an Amazing Schedule with the Mighty Man,Sweetness Personified Dearmost Bhai @beingsalmankhan Thanks Bhai for Making this So Comfortable and So Memorable And Thanks to OUR pillar of Support @kchirutweets for making this happen for Our #GodFather @MusicThaman & Team."
