Prominent Tollywood producer Dil Raju has lauded Tamil superstar Vijay for his work ethic and discipline. Highlighting Vijay’s clarity regarding shooting schedules, Raju suggested that other actors could take a cue from him to benefit the film industry as a whole.
Speaking about Vijay’s professionalism, Dil Raju said, “The way Vijay works is very impressive. He has complete clarity on when to start and finish a film. For instance, if a film requires 120 shooting days, he clearly states upfront that he will allot 20 days each month. This ensures the shoot is wrapped up in six months.”
He explained that when a lead actor provides dates in advance, the rest of the team can plan efficiently, work without stress, and take responsibility. “When the team knows the hero is giving 15 or 20 days each month, it creates a positive pressure to complete tasks on schedule. This helps the project finish on time,” he said.
However, Dil Raju expressed concern that such disciplined practices are currently lacking in Tollywood. He added that efforts are being made to revive this productive system. Notably, Vijay starred in Vaarasudu, which was produced by Dil Raju.
