Karthikeya 2 starring Nikhil in the lead role is continuing its solid run at the ticket windows not only in twin Telugu states but also in the North belt. On this occasion, the makers have arranged success meet this morning in Hyderabad.
To the event top producer Dil Raju graced as a chief guest. Speaking about Karthikeya 2 performance at the ticket windows, Dil Raju expressed his happiness for the kind of response and revenues the film has been getting from the audience. It is widely known that for the past few days news has been circulating among film circles that hero Nikhil is unhappy with Dil Raju’s decision of postponing the film from earlier announced release date July 22nd for the release of his own film, Thank You.
Giving clarity on the clash with hero Nikhil, producer Dil Raju in today’s event said that it is fact that he himself asked the makers of Karthikeya 2 to allocate July 22nd date for his film Thank You but never tried to stop the release of Karthikeya 2. As the film’s release date is postponed, they planned to come on August 5th but as two films in the form of Bimbisara and Sita Ramam are scheduled for a release on the same day, he himself asked them to go for any alternative date. Then they planned to release on August 12th but to avoid the clash with Macherla Niyojakavargam, Karthikeya 2 was released on August 13th. This is what exactly happened and there is no question of clash between me and Nikhil in the entire story, clarified Dil Raju.
Concluding his statement,Dil Raju asked the media to report facts but not fake news and try to create a gap between the film industry people.
