Dil Raju has long been associated with the success of new directors and new concepts, consistently achieving profits through a string of hits.
Films like Fidaa and F2 showcased his knack for selecting profitable projects and generating unexpected profits. Unfortunately, subsequent releases have failed to match that success.

Recent trends suggest he may be straying from this successful formula, leaning more toward senior directors and mass combinations.
Movies like Jaanu, Rowdy Boys, and Thank You tanked badly at the box office, with Vakeel Saab only achieving moderate success but falling short of expected theatrical returns.

Even with F3, which seemed like a safe choice, the collections did not meet expectations. His latest ventures, Varisu and The Family Star, also underperformed, with Family Star becoming an epic disaster.
Given these results, there are growing concerns regarding Dil Raju’s production choices and story selection.

Besides his own banner, he has collaborated with the next generation of his family to produce films under the Dil Raju Productions label.
One blockbuster success from this banner was Balagam, but subsequent films like Love Me failed to impress audiences.
His recent film, Janaka Aithe Ganaka, despite being a decent film, has not been able to create any mark at the box office.
Currently, all eyes are on Game Changer, as it holds significant importance for Dil Raju. However, the film has not generated much buzz, and unless something extraordinary happens, its prospects seem shaky.
Meanwhile, Anil Ravipudi’s film with Venkatesh is also set for release during the same period, and Dil Raju has high hopes for it based on Ravipudi’s successful track record.
Despite selecting promising films for distribution, Dil Raju appears to be struggling with his judgment in recent productions.
