Godfather's release in Malayalam: A bad idea?

Megastar Chiranjeevi is getting ready for the release of his latest flick, Godfather. Directed by Mohanaraja, this movie is all set for a grand release on October 5. Bollywood star Salman Khan, Nayanthara, and Satyadev play the other key roles in the movie.

Due to the presence of Salman, the makers decided to release the film in Hindi too. But what came as a shocker is their decision to dub the film in Malayalam as well. Godfather happens to be the remake of the 2019 Malayalam flick, Lucifer.

Starring Mohanlal in the lead role, Lucifer remains to be an all-time blockbuster in the Malayalam film industry. They still remember many scenes and cherish Mohanlal's performance in it. Coming to Godfather, the makers have tweaked the story to suit the nativity of Telugu audiences. When they did that, they should have stuck to the idea of releasing it only in Telugu.

Dubbing in Malayalam will give them their own dish with extra spices. This will lead to unnecessary comparisons between the original and remake versions. Thus, fans feel that it is better if the makers withdraw Godfather's Malayalam release. Let's see if the makers consider this request or not.
