Dil Raju started his production career after being a successful distributor in Nizam area or Telangana state as per today’s classification. He started out with his friends Giri, Sirish and Laxman.
Giri separated from him but others stayed with him for long. Now, he has become one of the biggest distributors and exhibitors of Telugu Cinema along with being a highly successful and regarded filmmaker or film producer.
This year he has plans to launch into Tamil with two bilinguals – one with Shankar and Ram Charan, another one with Thalapathy Vijay and Vamshi Paidipally. Shankar and Ram Charan film will have a Hindi language release too.
He wanted to expand to other languages and produce films with big directors of other languages too. Hence, he got Shankar on board and among actors, Vijay on board from Tamil Industry.
Hindi side he has less experience and hence he joined hands with Allu Aravind, who presented and produced Ghajini before. Now, Allu Aravind, Dil Raju and Nagavamsi Suryadevara of Sithara Entertainments Private Limited have come together to produce Hindi Jersey.
The movie got postponed several times due to Covid pandemic and it is releasing on 14th April. Movie has Shahid Kapoor in the lead and it is remake of Telugu star Nani’s Jersey. Goutham Tinnanuri, the original Telugu director is directing the film in Hindi too.
On the same day, KGF Chapter 2 is releasing. After looking at RRR domination over John Abraham’s Attack, The Kashmir Files domination over Akshay Kumar’s Bacchan Pandey, the makers will be hoping for a decent show for Shahid starrer after Kabir Singh kind of success.
Movie songs did not become has huge blockbuster successes as Kabir Singh songs. But if word of mouth for Shahid performace will be out and good, then the movie might become a slow success while KGF Chapter 2 will have a huge opening for sure.
Dil Raju will be looking to go huge for his next films as RRR proved to be huge blockbuster ever in Telangana area, which he distributed recovering his losses from other biggies. But he needs Jersey to give him a positive start in Hindi, can it? Let’s wait and find out.
