Ace producer Dil Raju’s debut production venture, Dil was one of the biggest hits in Tollywood. Released in the year 2003, the film had Nithin play the lead role. After all these years, the producer and actor will be joining hands for a film. To be directed by the Shatamanam Bhavati fame director Satish Vegesna, the film will have Nithin playing the lead role.
During the court of the making of Sathamanam Bhavathi, producer Dil Raju said that he would soon make a film with director Vegesna and the title for it was announced as Srinivasa Kalyanam. At first, it was said that Sai Dharam Tej would be playing the lead role in it but later there was a buzz that Ram Charan or Jr NTR may be the hero. Well, eventually it turned out that both the stars weren’t interested in Srinivasa Kalyanam which forced the filmmakers to rope in Nithin.
Nithin began his career with the film Jayam in 2002 and then went on to star in Dil. He has acted in a number of films since then including Sri Anjaneyam, Dhairyam, Seetharamula Kalyanam, Ishq, and A Aa. His last release was the Hanu Raghavapudi’s directorial LIE (Love Intelligence Enmity) which released in August this year. He is currently busy with Dilwala which is slated to hit the marquee next year.
Dil Raju is one of the most successful directors in the Telugu film industry and this year has been particularly good for him. Shatamanam Bhavati, release early this year, went on to win the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment-Golden Lotus Award at the 64th National Film Awards and his string of success continued with Nenu Local, Duvvada Jagannadham, Fidaa and Raja the Great. He his current production ventures is MCA (Middle Class Abbayi), Vellipomaakey and Mahesh Babu’s 25th film.
