Producer Dil Raju has been in the news for taking up films from different film industries. But his decisions have also brought him into controversies. Now after Tamil and Kannada films, the Telugu producer is making his presence felt in Bollywood as well.

Everyone remembers the controversy surrounding Vijay's Varisu which was released in Telugu as Varasudu. Dil Raju produced the film and planned its release during the Sankranthi season. At the same time, big Telugu films starring Chiranjeevi and Balakrishna were also arriving in theatres. This decision created a huge discussion in the Telugu film industry. Many questioned why a Telugu producer was giving priority to a dubbed Tamil film during such an important festival season.

Now, Dil Raju is once again talking about another film that created a lot of discussion, Toxic, starring Yash. The film could not meet audience expectations despite getting strong openings.

There were reports that Dil Raju suffered heavy losses because he distributed the film in Telugu. But he has now given a different explanation. Speaking to the media, Dil Raju said that he distributed both Toxic and Ramayana on a commission basis. He also claimed that he made profits from these projects instead of suffering losses.

He further said that some people had circulated paid social media posts claiming that he had lost a huge amount because of Toxic.

Meanwhile the interesting part is his Bollywood plans. Dil Raju revealed that he is currently producing two Hindi films, one with Salman Khan and another with Akshay Kumar. Both projects are in their final stages and are expected to release in February and March next year.

Dil Raju is confident that these films will show his strength as a producer.
