Dil Raju is one of the leading producers in Tollywood. He has delivered many hits at the box-office under Sri Venkateswara Creations banner.
Some of his hit films include Dil, Aarya, Bhadra, Bommarillu, Parugu, Kotha Bangaru Lokam, Brindavanam, Mr.Perfect, Seethamma Vaakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and Yevadu etc. He is considered as one of the powerful filmmaker in Tollywood as Dil Raju is a leading a distributor as well. Now, there happened a strange incident couple of days back.
Uyyala Jampala fame Raj Tharun was approached for the role of a hero in Dil Raju's upcoming movie. Everything was going smooth untill Raj Tharun asked 1 crore remuneration to act in the film. He also said that as Uyyala Jampala movie has collected more than 10 cr, he deserves 1 crore as a remuneration.
First of all, how many people in Tollywood know about Raj Tharun? He was popular through his short films and luckily got a chance to become hero with Uyyala Jamapala. This arrogant behavior by the new comer clearly shows where the short film industry is heading towards.
In the past, a leading hero offered couple of short filmmakers to work under his home banner for a year so that they can learn everything about cinema. There is a lot of difference to direct a 15 minutes short film with a mobile phone and to direct a 3 hour film.
Today's technology has given many options for the youngsters and the most of the youth are taking it to their head and thinking that after directing a short film, immediately they want to direct a film and become Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan.
Time for people like Raj Tharun to understand the ground reality and work in the industry without arrogance.
