In a year when Dil Raju is on a roll (with his fifth release, 'Raja The Great', releasing on Oct 18), he is set to launch the shooting of his slated film with Raj Tarun. The same will be directed by Anish Krishna of 'Ala Ela' fame.

The long-announced project had to be rescheduled in view of Raj Tarun's calendar getting rejigged due to a film of his not going as per a plan. Now that the young hero is going to be free in a few weeks' time, the Dil Raju film will finally roll.

Debutante Sanjana Reddy-directed 'Raju Gadu' is his next big release. It will hit the screens in January 2019.

Besides, the hero has a film with director Palnati Surya Prathap of 'Kumari 21F' fame. The same will be produced by Sukumar on his Sukumar Writings. Devi Sri Prasad will be the music director, while Rathnavelu will crank the camera. Nothing, though, has been heard from the makers about this movie, of late.
