In an interview, Chiranjeevi shared how GodFather’s director Mohan Raja suggested Salman’s name for the role. That`s when the south actor said that he will try to bring the Bollywood star onboard as “he is the best friend of our family” and “respects all of us and the same way we respect him so much.”
Chiranjeevi got candid about having Salman play a pivotal role in Godfather. He recalled saying how he sent a message to Salman, who immediately replied to him, “Yeah, yeah Chiru Garu, what do you want?” The Telugu star continued, “I told him it’s a small character but very respectable, and you can watch Lucifer in case you want. He said, ‘No, no Chiru Garu, I am doing it. Just send your person, we will discuss dates and everything.’ Within 2-3 minutes he agreed.”
Then, Godfather’s producer and Chiranjeevi’s son, Ram Charan, went to meet Salman. The Tubelight actor said, “Charan, you are my brother. Definitely, I want to do it. I need not see Lucifer. Just send a person to narrate my character." He even refused to accept any fees for his role in the upcoming Telugu blockbuster. The Indra actor shared, “When my producers went to him and offered him some amount, not knowing how much it was, he said, ‘You cannot buy my love towards Ram and Chiranjeevi garu with money. Get lost.`”
Salman’s gesture filled Chiranjeevi with love and affection for Bhaijaan. Earlier, at a pre-release event of the film, Chiranjeevi had promised the audience some fireworks with Salman and him sharing the screen. “Salman Khan has taken the responsibility on my behalf to entertain you towards the climax. It has come out brilliantly,” he said.
A promotional song titled “Thaar Maar”, featuring Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan, has been released in both the Hindi and Telugu languages. The film will hit theaters on October 5.
