Success in the movie industry often involves a bit of luck, and Dil Raju is a perfect example of someone who’s made the most of it. His recent ventures in dubbing films highlight this. Take, for instance, his move to acquire the rights for ‘Animal’ in the Telugu states, a decision that raised eyebrows due to doubts about Ranbir Kapoor’s appeal to the local audience. However, Dil Raju’s luck prevailed, and ‘Animal’ became a blockbuster hit.
One of his successful strategies was the strategic release of ‘Jailer’ in key areas. This move not only made the film a blockbuster success but also boosted Rajinikanth’s popularity in the Telugu domain, despite a previous decline. While not all of his investments have been smooth sailing (like ‘Ponniyin Selvan’ that didn’t meet expectations), Dil Raju’s decision to translate ‘Love Today’ without a direct remake turned out to be a profitable move. These unconventional choices showcase Dil Raju’s smart approach in his movie ventures.
Dil Raju’s passion for these films is evident, highlighting his skills as a top producer. Despite facing setbacks like project delays (‘Game Changer’) and rescheduled releases (‘Family Star’ from Sankranti to March), he continues to excel as a distributor. Collaborations on blockbusters such as ‘Masooda’ and ‘Bimbisara’ with other producers have also added to his success. The anticipated success of ‘Animal’ is expected to further solidify his winning streak.
