Koratala Siva and Dil Raju are two industry bigwigs with massive clout. And now, it appears that the two are at loggerheads. Dil Raju is the Nizam distributor for Bheemla Nayak, RRR, and Radhe Shyam. Along with that, he is also producing F3.
Koratala on the other hand is directing Mega Star Chiranjeevi’s Acharya which also co-star’s Mega Power Star Ram Charan. At a time when the fate of so many Tollywood biggies are in their hands, their potential ego clash is making quite a few industry insiders quite uncomfortable.
Speaking to the media about F3, the ace producer made certain statements that have now turned quite controversial. Raju said that he would be willing to postpone F3 if RRR is coming on the same date. The producers stated that a film of RRR’s scale needs that respect and co-operation. While this is a great decision from the producer, his decision to release F3 (28th April) just one day before Acharya (29th April) is now facing questions.
Dil Raju also said earlier that Tollywood must go hand in hand and there must be a healthy gap between the releases in order to ensure everyone gets a decent run. However, he himself is not standing on his words and looking to clash with Acharya. Acharya is a huge project with two big stars and a star director. The film is made on a huge budget and is releasing in multiple languages.
According to the sources, the ace producer is doing so to express his displeasure over Koratala granting Acharya Nizam rights to Raju’s main rival Warangal Sreenu.
Reportedly, Koratala Siva and Dil Raju had a clash during ‘Bharat Ane Nenu’ days. This is why the director doesn’t want to collaborate with the ace producer/distributor.
