Dil Raju, a renowned producer and distributor in the Telugu film industry, is presently promoting his latest venture “Shaakuntalam,” a historical movie starring Samantha in the lead role, and directed by Gunasekhar. The seasoned producer had tasted success with his debut Tamil project, “Varisu,” which was a box office hit. Recent social media rumours suggest that Dil Raju is preparing to embark on his next big Tamil project.
As per the latest buzz in Kollywood, Dil Raju met with superstar Rajinikanth, and they reportedly struck a deal for Rajinikanth to star in Dil Raju’s upcoming Tamil film. It is rumoured that Balagam producer had paid a considerable sum as an advance to sign up the Tamil superstar, but no official announcement has been made yet.
Currently, Rajinikanth is busy with his ongoing projects “Jailer” directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, “Lal Salaam” directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, and “Thalaivar170” with TJ Gnanavel, tentatively titled Thalaivar170.
Dil Raju is also producing the much-awaited movie “Game Changer,” a political thriller starring Ram Charan and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. The film is presently in production, with renowned director Shankar Shanmugam at the helm.
However, Dil Raju’s recent Hindi remakes, “Jersey” directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri and “HIT” directed by Sailesh Kolanu, have failed to perform at the box office. It remains to be seen if Dil Raju can continue his successful streak with movies featuring South Indian actors.
