Dil Raju Negotiates to Buy Telugu Rights of Ranbir Kapoor‑Yash Film ‘Ramayana’ for Rs 1

The Hindi‑English bilingual film ‘Ramayana’, featuring Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor alongside Kannada actor Yash, is slated for a pan‑India release. Producer‑distributor Dil Raju, known for his work in the Telugu market, has entered talks to secure the film’s rights for the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Sources say the deal is being negotiated at a token price of Rs 1, reflecting a strategic partnership rather than a commercial transaction. If finalized, Dil Raju will handle the film’s theatrical distribution, marketing and localisation for Telugu‑speaking audiences. The arrangement underscores the growing trend of cross‑regional collaborations in Indian cinema, where big‑budget stars are paired with regional distributors to maximise reach.
