In a surprising turn of events, Telangana Film Development Corporation Chairman Dil Raju criticized IT Minister KTR for allegedly targeting the film industry for political mileage. This comes after Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy questioned why the film industry has remained silent on KTR’s repeated comments involving filmmakers and actors.

During a Command Control Center meeting, CM Revanth raised concerns about KTR’s allegations and asked why the film fraternity has not countered them. Responding to these remarks, Dil Raju, through a newly created Twitter handle under his official capacity, made strong statements urging politicians to avoid using the film industry for political gains.

Dil Raju stated that the recent meeting with the film fraternity and the government was held in a spirit of cooperation, focusing on the industry’s development. He appealed to politicians not to drag the film industry into unnecessary controversies or use it for political attacks and counterattacks.

KTR’s recent comments targeting actor Allu Arjun during the meeting caused a stir, with allegations that the remarks were aimed at diverting attention from pressing issues. Critics accused KTR of using the film industry as a scapegoat to shift focus and gain political advantage. Revanth Reddy openly criticized KTR for allegedly settling issues with filmmakers behind closed doors and then making such public statements.

Dil Raju’s response, through social media, was seen as a middle-ground approach to address the issue. The chairman clarified that the meeting was conducted with a clear focus on the industry’s development and asked politicians to refrain from dragging the film industry into political agendas.

The situation has sparked discussions about the intersection of politics and the film industry, highlighting the need for mutual respect and boundaries. With both KTR and Revanth Reddy at odds, the controversy continues to gain attention across Telangana.
