Shaakuntalam is the BIGGEST SHOCK in my career - Dil Raju
When the movie was finally released, gunasekhar and dil Raju, who had purchased the theatre rights to the film, were both greatly shocked by the box office performance. Speaking of Shaakuntalam's performance, the legendary producer/distributor said it was the "biggest shock of his 25-year career." Through some of the scene-making videos, it was clear that Raju was very pleased with the results and even congratulated the team following a private screening.
Dil Raju is renowned for his expertise on the matter. He has produced and released a number of box office hits throughout the years.
