Telugu’s top film producer and distributor Dil Raju, famous for supporting some of Tollywood’s biggest hits, recently had an emotional moment during the trailer launch of his upcoming release Thammudu.
Starring Nithiin in the lead role and helmed by Venu Sriram, Thammudu has already created some buzz, particularly with the title taking a nod towards Power Star Pawan Kalyan’s cult classic. While the trailer elicited a good response from the fans, Dil Raju’s emotional speech was the actual turnstile of the event.
Talking candidly, Dil Raju reflected upon the difficult periods he had gone through in his career in films. He spoke about how Telugu cinema’s largest stars stood by him in his worst times, not only professionally but also personally.
He emotionally remembered that Jr NTR supported him throughout Brindavanam, Prabhas had his back through Mr. Perfect, Mahesh Babu supported him in Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, and Pawan Kalyan had his complete support through Vakeel Saab. Dil Raju says these actors didn’t merely agree to work on his films—they went the extra mile to know his troubles and stood behind him like good well-wishers.
His honest words have now turned viral, deeply touching fans and reminding all of the deep bonds and respect that surround the Telugu film fraternity.
