For Sankranthi 2023, Dil Raju invited a box office clash in the Telugu states with the senior heroes Megastar Chiranjeevi and Nandamuri Balakrishna. Dil Raju’s Varisu competed with Chiru’s Waltair Veerayya and Balayya’s Veera Simha Reddy. The developments around these releases became controversial and Dil Raju faced a lot of criticism for bringing a dubbing film against two top Telugu actors. Now, it seems like Dil Raju is going to repeat the same one more time.
If the reports are believed to be true, Dil Raju is reportedly planning to go against Superstar Mahesh Babu this time. There are speculations in the film circles that Sithara Entertainments is not showing interest to give the distirbution rights of SSMB28 to Dil Raju and other distributors are already in talks to buy the rights. The reason for the same is unknown.
Now, Dil Raju is in plans to buy the rights of Superstar Rajinikanth’s Jailer for the Telugu states. Rajinikanth enjoys a decent craze in the Telugu states and his film is scheduled for a grand release during August second week.
SSMB28, in the direction of Trivikram Srinivas is also being planned around the same time. Most likely, the two films might hit the screens on the 11th of August.
If the clash is inevitable, then, Dil Raju will be facing criticism yet again but we have to see how things get unfolded.
