Dil Raju is one of the most sought-after producers in Telugu cinema, having backed over 50 films in his illustrious career. The year 2025 has been a rollercoaster ride for him, as he faced a massive setback with Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, but bounced back strongly with the blockbuster success of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, featuring Venkatesh in the lead role.
Dil Raju planning to mega sequels
Currently, Dil Raju is busy with multiple projects, but we have some exciting updates about his future plans. Sources close to the producer have revealed that he is actively working on sequels to not one but two of his iconic films—Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and Shatamanam Bhavati.
According to insider reports, Dil Raju has instructed the directors of both films to develop compelling scripts for their respective sequels. Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, which featured Venkatesh and Mahesh Babu in the lead roles, became a cult classic in Telugu cinema. Interestingly, the family drama was recently re-released in Telugu states and performed exceptionally well at the box office. Encouraged by this response, Dil Raju is now exploring the idea of a sequel, potentially featuring younger stars. Even though Mahesh Babu did family dramas like Okkadu and Athadu, Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chett was the biggest hit.
Shatamanam Bhavati had Sharwanand in the lead role
Similarly, Shatamanam Bhavati, another beloved family drama that starred Sharwanand, is also in the early stages of sequel development. The film’s heartwarming narrative and emotional depth made it a massive success, and news of its sequel has already started creating a buzz among fans.
While the scripts for both films are still being developed, it remains to be seen when these projects will officially go on floors. With Dil Raju’s reputation for delivering engaging family entertainers, expectations are high for these sequels. Stay tuned for more updates on these much-anticipated projects.
