Producer Dil Raju Opens Up On Inflated Box Office Collections In Tollywood
Hyderabad, May 21 - Noted Telugu film producer, Dil Raju has said that the Tollywood film industry urgently needs a proper tracking system to stop producers from inflating box office collections.
Inflating box office numbers in Tollywood is not new as the numbers game has risen to the top of the priority list in Tollywood. The latest film in question is Mahesh Babu's "Sarakru Vaari Paata". While the producers have revealed that the movie is nearing Rs. 200 crores worldwide, Twitter has been buzzing with questions about how the producers were able to pull in such large crowds despite the film's mixed reviews.
In response to a similar question, producer Dil Raju stated that this trend has continued for all films and that no one film stands out in terms of box office receipts. He hopes that in Telugu states, proper tracking will be implemented to prevent these inflated collections.
"It's not fair to judge a film solely on its box office receipts. Even without proof, a few websites published that some of the 'SVP' collections were simply fake. These problems could be solved with a proper box office tracking system", says Dil Raju.
Meanwhile, Dil Raju is awaiting the release of "F3: Fun and Furstration", which is scheduled to release on May 27th. It stars Venkatesh, Varun Tej, Tamannah Bhatia, Mehreen Pirzada, and Sonal Chauhan, among others in key roles.
