Dil Raju shocks Industry insiders with huge deals

Feb 19, 2026

Ace producer-distributor Dil Raju is making major waves in the trade circuit by aggressively securing high-profile projects. In a move to strengthen his dominance in the Telugu states and overseas, he has recently closed theatrical deals for two highly anticipated films: the sports drama Biker and the Tharun Bhascker starrer Gaayapadda Simham.

Biker, featuring Sharwanand and Dr. Rajashekhar, has been acquired by Raju for approximately ₹20 crore for the AP and Telangana regions. Directed by Abhilash Reddy Kankara and produced by UV Creations, this high-octane motorsport film is being hailed as India’s first motocross racing drama. With music by Ghibran and a grand release planned for April 3, 2026, the deal highlights Raju's confidence in Sharwanand’s box-office pull and the film's unique racing backdrop.

Simultaneously, Dil Raju has sealed the deal for Gaayapadda Simham for a fancy price of ₹6 crore, covering AP/TS and overseas rights. Starring Tharun Bhascker, Faria Abdullah, and Maanasa Choudhary, the film is a witty take on contemporary issues—including a humorous subversion of US immigration struggles. Directed by Kasyap Sreenivas and presented by Pavan Sadineni, the film has already created massive buzz with its teaser. These strategic acquisitions by Dil Raju signal a robust summer 2026 season for his distribution house, Sri Venkateswara Creations.
