On the occasion of completing 20 years in the Telugu film industry, star producer Dil Raju sat down for an exclusive interview with M9.news. Here’s what he had to say in this candid chitchat.

Dil Raju spoke at length about the ups and downs in his career, and also his upcoming biggie with Ram Charan, Game Changer.

“In the last few years, I have been doing multiple projects simultaneously. In 2017, I had 7 theatrical releases. I used to do 1 film per year in the early stages and hence could do quality films. But now that I’m doing consecutive films, the quality might be dipping. I too have been observing it. But that won’t happen from now.” Dil Raju stated.

Raju added that his daughter Hansitha Reddy and nephew Harishth Reddy will look after Dil Raju Productions. We are making films on two different banners now to diversify the work, he says.

About Mythri Movie Makers starting a new distribution office, Raju said he feels someone influenced them into doing it. “There were no differences between us till then. Perhaps they realized what’s happening in the distribution stream now and how Dil Raju faced so many hardships in this field”.

“When I first heard Game Changer script, I asked Shankar who he has in mind, he said someone like Pawan Kalyan. Then I suggested Ram Charan and that’s how it happened. This will be a classic 90s Shankar film”

M9News then asked if this film will have a concept like one-day CM in Shankar style. Raju replied he can’t reveal more details now but assured a classic Shankar film with the Ram Charan starrer
