Megastar Chiranjeevi was chief guest at Dil Raju’s latest production Shatamanam Bhavati success meet held last night in a star hotel. Chiranjeevi felicitated Dil Raju’s mentor VV Vinayak who taught making lessons to the producer when the duo worked together for the film Dil.

While speaking at the event, Chiranjeevi praised Dil Raju for making family entertainers and successful films. “Today, when producer’s role is limited to just spend money, Dil Raju has brought respect to ‘producer’. Every young hero including my son Ram Charan is willing to work with Dil Raju, because the way he loves he films and promotes them to make hits.

Good thing about Dil Raju is he hasn’t forgotten his basics. I’m glad that he still remembered Vinayak’s assistance in judging scripts and other things and felicitating him on the occasion.”

Chiranjeevi also lauded Vinayak for helping Dil Raju in the producer’s starting days. The megastar appreciated all the cast and crew including Sharwanand whom he treats as a family member.
