GodFather, starring my close friend Chiranjeevi, will also be released on October 5 alongside The Ghost. I hope that both films are box office successes,” Nagarjuna added.
Chiranjeevi was last seen in the Telugu film Acharya, which was a box office failure. In contrast, Nagarjuna appeared in a long cameo in Brahmastra, his first Hindi film in nearly two decades.
