The Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce (TFCC) elections are scheduled to take place on December 28, 2025, and producer C Kalyan accused Dil Raju of making false promises and said that he will soon face failure.
These elections decide key leadership positions in the chamber, which represents producers, distributors, exhibitors, and studio owners in the Telugu film industry. The Chamber plays an important role in addressing industry issues and coordinating with both the Telangana and Andhra Pradesh governments.
The Two Main Panels
Progressive Panel
- Led by: D. Suresh Babu — a senior exhibitor and film producer.
- Dil Raju, Allu Aravind, Ashok Kumar, K S Rama Rao, Ravi Shankar Yellamanchili, Priyanka Dutt, and others are key members
Mana Panel
- Led by: Chadalavada Srinivasa Rao and C. Kalyan — veteran producer and distributor voices.
- Prasanna Kumar, YVS Choudhury, and others are key members.
Representing the Mana Panel, C Kalyan stated that Dil Raju made false promises related to the elections and misused the Producers Guild for personal gain. He added that Raju should focus on producing films rather than engaging in other activities like distribution and contesting TFCC elections.
Also, another producer, Prasanna Kumar, alleged that the big producers are monopolizing the film industry and their lack of support for small producers and workers.
