There is a good culture in Tollywood where industry folks usually celebrate each other’s success. We usually see veteran producers like Allu Aravind felicitating people who made special films that brought a lot of praise and recognition. We have seen arranging parties when movies like ‘Shatamanam Bhavati’ and ‘Mahanati’ became successful. He heaps praises on those movies and encourages the new talent without any ego or pride.
Recently, a small film ‘Balagam’ achieved phenomenal success. Dil Raju produced this film and Venu Yeldandi directed it. Apart from wonderful collections, the movie received a lot of praise and appreciation from all over. Some industry folks have already congratulated the team and Chiranjeevi himself invited them to ‘Bholaa Shankar’ sets and felicitated them. Manchi Mohan Babu and others too did the same.
But Allu Aravind who stands first in the list when it comes to encouraging such good films has remained silent over ‘Balagam’. He did not felicitate them as usual and insiders say that there is a strong reason for it. Recently, Vijay Deverakonda and Parasuram announced a project under their combination and Dil Raju is producing this film. They delivered a blockbuster like ‘Geetha Govindham’ before and it was under the GA2 Pictures banner. Parasuram reportedly worked on the script under Allu Aravind’s banner and Dil Raju is said to have hijacked the project which did not make the veteran happy. Disappointed with this, he decided to stay away from celebrating ‘Balagam’ success as Raju produced it. Looks like all is not well between these two big shots.
