Dil Raju, a senior producer and distributor in the Tollywood industry, recently found himself engulfed in controversies surrounding the upcoming Sankranthi releases. With films like Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Kaaram,’ Teja Sajja’s ‘Hanuman,’ Venkatesh’s ‘Saindhav,’ and Nagarjuna’s ‘Naa Saami Ranga’ gearing up for release, discussions surfaced regarding theatre allotment, particularly with ‘Hanu Man’ being perceived as a smaller film among the lineup.
Criticism emerged, suggesting that Dil Raju was not supportive of smaller films. Rumors circulated that he might release the Tamil film ‘Ayalaan’ in the Telugu states to influence the screening of ‘Hanu Man’ and potentially undermine its prospects. Frustrated by the negative portrayal of his actions, Dil Raju firmly responded to the media’s misrepresentation of his statements and news reports.
Expressing his frustration over this distorted coverage, Dil Raju highlighted the unwarranted criticisms he faces every Sankranthi, pointing out that some websites wrongly twisted Chiranjeevi‘s words against him. Vowing to take action against websites spreading false news, he declared an end to tolerating such misleading narratives.
Dil Raju clarified that he would not release ‘Ayalaan’ in the Telugu states alongside the four mentioned Telugu films. This announcement aimed to dispel any misunderstanding regarding his involvement in the Sankranthi releases and his stance towards smaller films.
