Dil Raju is often referred as the man with a midas touch. From a small distributor to one of the successful producers of all time, Dil Raju’s journey is an inspiring one for many in the Telugu film industry. He produced many memorable films and also worked with almost all star heroes of the current generation. Besides this, he is well known for encouraging talent. After aggressively producing films till 2014, Dil Raju slowed a bit in the last of couple of years.
He worked with Sai Dharam Tej for two projects and produced two low budget films, Kerintha and Krishnastami. These films didn’t give him much credit. But, as a distributor he hit the jackpot with films like Baahubali and Rudhramadevi.
Now, Dil Raju’s golden hand as producer is back with successive hits this year. Two out of the four hits this year belong to Dil Raju’s banner. Shathamanam Bhavathi, which released for Sankranthi struck gold at the box office and collected sensational figures in all areas despite the release of two big ticket films. Also, Dil Raju’s latest release Nenu Local, which stars Nani in the lead role, has been termed a decent hit by the trade circles. Shathamanam Bhavathi has collected more than 25 Crores and Nenu Local has already surpassed the 20 Crore mark.
Both these films were made on a medium budget and have inexperienced directors, but the content and Dil Raju’s brand have helped them to embark on a superb box office journey.
Dil Raju is currently busy with multiple projects like Duvvada Jagannadham, Fidaa, Raja The Great etc. He is also going to team up with Mahesh Babu very soon. With a healthy line up of projects, Dil Raju will surely be looking to reinstate himself to the former position.
