Producer Dil Raju made several big announcements at the Ramayana success meet today. He revealed that he has met Pawan Kalyan about another film, clarified the talk around his losses on Toxic, and shared release updates for his upcoming projects.
Another Film With Pawan Kalyan?
Dil Raju confirmed that he recently met Pawan Kalyan to explore the possibility of doing another film together. He said the response was positive, but added that it’s too early to talk about anything yet.
Dil Raju earlier produced Pawan Kalyan’s comeback film Vakeel Saab, so fans will be excited to hear the two are talking again.
“No Loss on Toxic”
Dil Raju also addressed the talk that he lost a lot of money on Toxic. He called it paid promotion and said the reality is very different.
He released both Toxic and Ramayana on a distribution commission basis, so he earns his commission on both films. He paid an advance to release Toxic, and that advance was on a recoverable basis, so the film’s result did not cause him a loss.
Ravi Teja Film Not Shelved
There has also been talk in industry circles that his film with Ravi Teja, directed by Harshith Goli, has been shelved. Dil Raju strongly denied this. The film is titled Veeradi Veerulanta, and it will go on sets in February.
Release Updates
Dil Raju also shared the release plans for his upcoming films:
- Akshay Kumar’s film: February 2027
- Yellamma: March 5, 2027
- Salman Khan’s film: March 2027, for Eid
- Rowdy Janardhana: Summer 2027
- Anil Ravipudi’s Next With SVC
Dil Raju also confirmed that director Anil Ravipudi’s next film will be produced under Sri Venkateswara Creations. The two have a strong track record together, with hits like F2 and Sankranthiki Vasthunam.
