?Shot on a budget of Rs 30 crore, it earned Rs 175 crore during its run and received rave reviews with critics praising the performances. The film¡¯s cast included Manju Warrier, Tovino Thomas, Prithviraj, and Vivek Oberoi. Lucifer was later remade in Telugu as Godfather with Chiranjeevi and Salman Khan in the lead. The remake was directed by Mohan Raja and opened to a good response at the box office.?
