Dil raju about ANil Ravipudi, Raja The great audio launch

“Raja the great” movie is releasing this week. Yesterday audio function of the movie held successfully. During this function, Dil Raju revealed about the advice he gave to director Anil Ravipudi.

Actually “Raja the great” is third movie for director Anil Ravipudi. His first movie was ” Patas” with Kalyan Ram and it was a good hit. In fact movie got unanimous hit talk on day one. His second movie ” Supreme” also big hit. That is actually biggest hit till date in Sai Dharam Tej career. But this movie did not get unanimous hit talk on day one. Dil Raju told Anil was confused for first one week whether ” Supreme” movie is hit or not. On 8th day after release of the movie, Anil came and asked Dil Raju why there’s this mixed talk. It is then Dil Raju gave this advice to Anil.

He advised young director to prepare a story with completely novel point. Then only there will be unanimous hit talk on day one. So Anil took the advice seriously and came up with this story. In Telugu, where formula based commercial films rule the industry, story based on blind hero is definitely a novel point. No Telugu hero of this generation acted in a completely blind role through out the movie recently.

We have to wait and see whether Dil Raju advice will fetch unanimous hit movie to Anil or not. “Raja the great” movie is releasing on 18th October.

Dil Raju is enjoying complete monopoly in Nizam. Currently, no movie can release in Nizam without his consent. For lot of big movies, dates are confirmed byDil Raju. Even if someone else buys a movie, they still have to release though Dil Raju. Asian is only other competitor, but they are very selective in buying movies. UV is particularly dissatisfied by theaters giving to their recent movie Mahavubhavudu in Nizam. UV is already strong in Andhra and Ceded and they are seriously contemplating entering to Nizam. However, the only challenge is most of theaters are already under lease with either Raju or Asian. so they have to focus on new theaters or theaters coming out of lease.

Industry is also cheering for a new entrant in Nizam as it reduces monopoly and they will have more options, going forward..

Dil Raju’s Srinivasa Kalyanam with Tarak

After the success of director Satish Vegesna’s ‘Shathamanam Bhavathi’, a Dil Raju production venture which also won a prestigious National Film Award, curiosity piqued over the director’s next project. Going by the latest development, Tarak may do this film.

In the success meets of SB, Dil Raju announced that he would be producing Vegesna’s next film, which will be another family entertainer relying on values and emotions. Later, it came out that the film was titled ‘Srinivasa Kalyanam’. Sai Dharam Tej’s name was first heard as the probable hero to play the lead role. Dil Raju later thought of roping in a star hero to widen the film’s reach and approached Ram Charan.

The Mega hero was interested to do the project but as he would be just completing ‘Rangasthalam’, a village-based entertainer, he didn’t want to do a similar film. Now, Dil Raju has finally knocked the door of NTR with the proposal of Srinivasa Kalyanam. He offered fancy remuneration to the star hero to sign him. If Tarak gives his green signal, this family entertainer will be his immediate next project after Trivikram’s film.

In fact, NTR wanted to reunite with Koratala following Trivikram’s film. Koratala however will be busy with Ram Charan’s film, which will go on floors in the summer next year, after he was done with ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’. Hence, NTR is still looking for a worthy follow up to Trivikram’s film. Will Srinivasa Kalyanam be that film?

Tarak hasn’t done a family entertainer post Brindavanam, which was also a Dil Raju production venture.

Extending its dream run in overseas, the romantic drama is close to $ 1.7 Million mark and is at a touching distance to some of the blockbuster hits like Attarintiki Daredi and Janatha Garage. The film collected $ 27K and $ 50K ( counting) on its second Monday and Tuesday respectively and surpassed the lifetime run of Balakrishna’s GPSK. Fidaa is now the third highest grosser of 2017 in overseas after Baahubali 2 and Khaidi No 150.
