Dil Raju Gets Candid: Top Stars Helped Me in Crucial Times
Veteran Tollywood producer Dil Raju stole the spotlight at the recent promotional event of Thammudu, his upcoming film starring Nithiin, with an emotional speech that touched the hearts of fans and industry members alike.
In a rare moment of candor, Dil Raju acknowledged the unwavering support he received from four of Tollywood’s biggest superstars—Jr. NTR, Prabhas, Mahesh Babu, and Pawan Kalyan—at critical junctures in their career.
“They Backed Me When I Needed It Most.” – Dil Raju
“It was Jr. NTR during Brindavanam, Prabhas during Mr. Perfect, Mahesh Babu during Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, and Pawan Kalyan during Vakeel Saab. They all backed me, gave me confidence, and helped me make bold decisions when things were financially tight,” said Dil Raju.
He emphasized that making a movie isn’t just about locking a hero—it’s about open conversations around project economics, realistic expectations, and collaboration.
A Reality Check for Today’s Producers
Dil Raju didn’t shy away from offering critical insights into today’s production trends:
“Today’s producers lack patience. Everyone’s rushing to get stars on board. They fear someone else might grab the chance if they wait—even before talking about the script or budget properly.”
His statement serves as a reminder that long-term industry success often comes from trust-based collaborations, not just commercial shortcuts.
