Chiranjeevi has praised Salman Khan for his support in his upcoming film "GodFather," in which the Bollywood star gets an extensive cameo. The Telugu version of the 2019 Malayalam film "Lucifer," which hit the theatres on October 5, is a political action thriller. On its first day, it raised Rs 38 crore globally.
Salman plays Masood bhai, a mercenary and confidant of Chiranjeevi's political leader Brahma/Abram Qureshi in "GodFather." The production marks the "Bharat" star's Telugu cinema debut. Chiranjeevi thanked Salman for his performance as Masood bhai on Instagram on Friday night, calling the character "a force" behind the film's success.
"Thank you, my dear Sallu bhai and congratulations to you too because Masood bhai is a force behind GodFather's spectacular success. Thank you and I love you so much. Vande Mataram," the veteran actor said in the video.
Salman had previously complimented Chiranjeevi on his Instagram page.
"My dear Chiru garu, I love you and I heard that 'GodFather' is doing really well. Congrats and God bless you.
"You know why, Chiru garu? Kyunki iss desh aur iss desh ki janta mein hai bada dum, vande mataram (Because this country and its people are very powerful)," he had said in a video.
"GodFather," directed by Mohan Raja, also stars Nayanthara and Satyadev Kancharana. Konidela Production Company and Super Good Films are producing the film.
