Apart from Telugu, 'The Ghost' will also be released in Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi. 'God Father' will target the Telugu and Hindi-speaking audience and will be released only in Telugu and Hindi since it is a remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Lucifer. Since 'The Ghost' will release in different languages and is also starring actors from across the country, it will cater to a Pan-India audience. 'God Father' will also have an advantage of big stars, including Chiru, Salman, Nayanthara and Samuthirakani, among others.
