Dil Raju to Relaunch Veteran Director Karunakaran with Ashish Reddy in the Lead
Top producer Dil Raju, known for his astute judgment and successful track record, is gearing up for a new wave of films in 2025. He's been diligently working on a carefully curated slate of projects, and the latest news points towards a strategic collaboration with veteran director Karunakaran.
Karunakaran, renowned for his sensible storytelling and ability to craft romantic entertainers, has a string of hits to his credit, including Tholi Prema, Vasu, Ullasamga Utsahamga, and Darling. While he has also faced a few setbacks, he remains a respected figure in Telugu cinema.
His last directorial venture, Tej: I Love You, released in 2018. However, his last successful film, Darling with Prabhas, was a significant box office hit in 2004.
Dil Raju, impressed by a script narrated by Karunakaran, has given his nod for the film. The project is a romantic entertainer, and the lead role will be played by Ashish Reddy, Dil Raju's nephew. Ashish is currently on a break but is set to make a comeback with two new films in 2025.
This collaboration marks a significant comeback for Karunakaran, and the combination of his storytelling prowess with Ashish Reddy's fresh energy promises to deliver a compelling cinematic experience.
