Dil Raju trying hard to convince Vijay

Top producer Dil Raju is producing Varisu which has Vijay in the lead role. The actor was reportedly paid Rs 110 crores as remuneration for the film and Varisu hits the screens during Sankranthi 2023. Vijay is one actor who stays away from promotions and he only attends the pre-release event of his films in Chennai. He never promoted any film in Telugu states till date. Dil Raju is trying hard to convince Vijay and bring him for the promotions of Vaarasudu in Hyderabad. Vijay is hesitant about promotions and he only gave one interview during the release of Beast.

As biggies like Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy are in the Sankranthi race, it is important for some aggressive promotions of Vaarasudu. Vijay’s Telugu market is on a rise and he has to promote the film to cement his position in one of the biggest markets. Varisu is a family entertainer directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Rashmika is the heroine and Thaman scored the music. The released singles are super hits in Tamil. The film’s release date will be announced soon.

Is Dil Raju overhyping Vaarasudu?

1

Dil Raju is left in a tight spot because of his previous comments he made on dubbing films. His next film Varisu is getting ready for a record release. Because of his hold in the exhibition sector, Dil Raju blocked a major number of screens in Nizam and Vizag regions for the film. He is facing the heat from all the corners now. He has to allocate screens for Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya and Balakrishna’s Veerasimha Reddy. For the first time, Dil Raju is facing the heat from the exhibitors and the distributors. With Dil Raju blocking record number of screens, the exhibitors aren’t happy with his move. They are not able to raise their voice as Dil Raju is the top distributor and he has a heap of films lined up for release as a distributor.

Most of them feel that Dil Raju is overhyping Vaarasudu. Vijay is sure a top actor in Tamil. But the audience are not ready to rush to watch Vaarasudu when they have options like Waltair Veerayya and Veerasimha Reddy. Allocating more number of screens beyond the market or potential of Vijay is sure not a wise move from Dil Raju. He may be super confident on the film but actors like Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna would be watching things closely. Some of the exhibitors are not ready to allocate screens for Vaarasudu during the crucial holiday season. Dil Raju’s move is badly opposed across the circles of Telugu cinema.

It may be a blind gamble or Dil Raju might wish to prove his hold in distribution, but it is a bad move from Dil Raju. He is just overhyping Vaarasudu which hardly generated any hype across the Tollywood audience.

Top producer Dil Raju is in news because of Varisu, a Telugu and Tamil bilingual directed by Vamshi Paidipally. The past statements of Dil Raju left him in trouble and the top producer remained tightlipped though he was targeted or criticized. For the first time, Dil Raju responded about the controversy over Sankranthi 2023 releases during his interview. He said that all is well between the producers of upcoming Sankranthi releases and some people have been willingly making it a controversy.

“I announced that Vijay’s Varisu will release for Sankranthi 2023 long ago. After this, Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya joined the Sankranthi race. Balakrishna’s Veerasimha Reddy was planned for December release but it landed in Sankranthi race because of the delay in the shoot. There are enough number of screens to accommodate all the three films during the holiday season. I am in constant touch with Mythri Naveen and his team about the release planning. They are releasing their films on their own in Nizam. Some of them wanted to make this an issue. Mythri Movie Makers never complained in the Producers Council but some of them in the Council have created the controversy” told Dil Raju.

“I have leased out 37 screens out of the 420 screens in Nizam. Asian Sunil holds 100 screens and other screens are run by the owners. We have a good hold in the distribution circles and the exhibitors will offer their screens to me on a priority basis. There is no problem between Mythri Movie Makers and me” told Dil Raju.

Buzz: Distributors turning out against Dil Raju

0

Top producer Dil Raju who managed and tackled several tricky situations is now left in huge stress. He outspoke several times saying that there is no scope for dubbing films during the happening Sankranthi season every year. Now, his film Vijay’s Varisu is releasing during Sankranthi 2023. The Telugu Film Producers Council issued a statement asking the distributors and exhibitors to allocate theatres for straight films like Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy instead of dubbing films. This is a strong blow for Dil Raju but the ace producer wanted to continue his legacy and prove his hold in the distribution market across the Telugu states.

But the distributors and exhibitors are turning against his move. Most of the distributors locked the theatres for Varisu assumpting that one among Waltair Veerayya or Veera Simha Reddy would get postponed. After the move from the Telugu Film Producers Council, the exhibitors are completely against Dil Raju and Varisu. Most of them are not ready to pay advances and they are mounting pressure on the distributors to screen Waltair Veerayya or Veera Simha Reddy considering the taste of the Telugu audience. Most of them argue that Vijay’s film would be the third option before Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy.

The distributors of Dil Raju are left in stress and they are mounting pressure on the producer to postpone Varisu. Dil Raju cannot postpone Varisu but he may have to push the Telugu version or adjust with limited screens. Though he can lock more number of screens for Varisu, he may have to lose it if both Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy receive a positive response.

On the other side, Mythri Movie Makers that produced Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy are aggressive and they are keen to lock more screens for these films. Dil Raju has to be careful to save his film and at the same time he has to be extra cautious during Sankranthi. Else he would lose a relation with two Telugu top stars with whom he has been dreaming to produce films soon.

Dil Raju left in a Tricky Situation

0

Top producer Dil Raju is the leading distributor of Telugu states. He has a great hold in the distribution sector which also brought him enough headaches. For the upcoming Sankranthi, Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya, Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy and Vijay’s Varisu are in the race. Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy will remain as the first priority for the Telugu audience. Dil Raju is producing Vijay’s Vaarasudu that is directed by Vamshi Paidipally. He is keen to lock more number of theatres for the film. But the exhibitors in the B and C centres are not ready to screen the film as there are Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna’s films lined up during the season.

Dil Raju can dominate the market in Nizam but it will sure turn a threat for the top distributor and producer. Dil Raju who worked with all the top actors of Telugu cinema has plans to produce films with Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna soon. If he blocks more screens for Vaarasudu and ignores the Telugu stars, his image would get damaged before the veteran actors and there would be slim changes of Dil Raju producing films with them for sure. At the same time, he cannot ignore Varisu in Telugu states. Dil Raju is left in a tough situation and he has to be smart at this time. He is quoting record prices for the theatrical rights of Vaarasudu but the distributors are not in a mood to pay huge prices. Mythri Movie Makers is producing Waltair Veerayya and Veera Simha Reddy. Both these films will be released on their own. For now, Dil Raju is left in a tricky situation.

Pressure mounting on Dil Raju

0

Four films are gearing up for release in Telugu during the Sankranthi 2023 holiday season. Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Waltair Veerayya, Balakrishna’s Veera Simha Reddy, Prabhas’ Adipurush and Vijay’s Vaarasudu are the films in the season. Vaarasudu director Vamshi Paidipally recently announced that Vaarasudu is a properly made Tamil film which means that it is a dubbed film. The Tollywood audience are eager about the release of straight Telugu films. Vaarasudu would be the last choice when the films of veteran actors like Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna are in the race. Prabhas is a pan-Indian star and his box-office potential is known to everyone.

Vaarasudu producer Dil Raju has a strong hold across the Telugu distribution circles. But this is not working for him considering the release chart of Sankranthi season. The distributors and the exhibitors are not much interested to screen the film. Most of the theatres would be allocated for the straight Telugu films. The exhibitors too are not ready to pay big advances for Vaarasudu but Dil Raju is expecting huge advances. Vijay’s Telugu theatrical market is just between Rs 12-15 crores but Dil Raju is expecting big. His close friends have suggested Dil Raju to postpone the film.

But Vijay, the lead actor of Vaarasudu is not much interested to postpone the film as the Tamil release would be crucial for him. There are also talks that Adipurush may be out of Sankranthi race but there is no clarity for now. The pressure has been mounting up on Dil Raju after the film is in the last in the list. A better clarity about the Sankranthi 2023 releases is expected in December.

Dil Raju’s calculations go wrong with Shankar

Top producer Dil Raju wanted to work with top director Shankar. The duo met several times and announced Indian 2. But Dil Raju walked out of the project after Shankar was hesitant to quote the final budget. After Indian 2 landed in trouble, Shankar himself approached Dil Raju and they locked Ram Charan for a film. The shoot commenced this year and the shoot came to a halt after the shoot of Indian 2 resumed. Dil Raju and his team planned a strict budget as per the requirement of Shankar. Even before 50 percent of the shoot is wrapped up, the entire film’s budget is completed.

Dil Raju who is known to be a wise producer got his calculations gone wrong for this film. There are various reasons why the budget got heaped up. Shankar is also unhappy with the Telugu production team and he replaced them with Tamil crew which added more trouble.This increased the gap between Shankar and Dil Raju. After the shoot of Indian 2 resumed, Shankar and Ram Charan’s film is kept on hold. There is no clarity about when the shoot resumes. The interests are mounting. Dil Raju who expected some handsome profits through the film will now get nothing as all the deals are closed. He would be a happy man if he loses nothing from this mega-budget film that will head for a pan-Indian project that will head for release during the end of 2023.

Dil Raju hits hard on Gossips

0

Top producer Dil Raju is a successful producer and distributor. He was dragged into several controversies and he is a man who stays tight-lipped and rarely responds for the rumors. During the success meet of Nikhil’s Karthikeya 2, Dil Raju took the stage and turned emotional. He slammed a gossip portal which happens to be the reason for the speculations. He challenged them to meet him in person for any clarity in the future. “My name was dragged and I was made the reason for the delay in the release of Karthikeya 2. I have been meeting the producers, hero Nikhil and director Chandoo Mondeti about the release of Karthikeya 2. As there was a delay in Thank You, I requested the team of Karthikeya 2 to move out from July 22nd release and they agreed for the same” told Dil Raju.

“With the permission of the producers, I am here to issue a clarification. There were a lot of rumors about me. Nikhil has been discussing about the release of Karthikeya 2 from sometime. They decided to release Karthikeya 2 during the Independence Day weekend. I suggested them to avoid clash and move the film by a day. There are unwanted rumors about the same. Most of them feel that there is no unity between us. But 99 percent of the time, we discuss and plan the releases to avoid a clash. We have averted several clashes. Nobody is here to kill films. There has to be a minimum commonsense for those who write and read those rumors. It is being done for clicks or subscribers. I am a calm-going person and I never entertained clashes” told Dil Raju.

“If there is no healthy relationship, I will not be invited to this success meet. People Media Factory is producing eight films currently and it is the leading production house. Who will try to have a tiff with the top production house of Tollywood? The facts should be verified before writing or publishing a piece of news. Karthikeya 2 collected Rs 4 crores in Nizam over the weekend when there are multiple films screened. Never throw stones on others. Dil Raju is saleable and they are writing about me. I love films and I never kill or spoil any film. Please shut your mouths if you are not aware of the facts” concluded Dil Raju.
