Tue Jan 21 08:10:00 IST 2025: ## IT Raids Shake Tollywood: Dil Raju, Mythri Movie Makers Under Scrutiny
**Hyderabad, January 21, 2025** – A major tax raid targeting prominent figures in the Telugu film industry sent shockwaves through Tollywood today. Income Tax (IT) officials launched simultaneous searches at multiple locations linked to producer Dil Raju, including his residence, office, and the homes of his family members. The raids, involving 55 teams across eight locations in Hyderabad, began early this morning and are reportedly focused on financial irregularities.
Dil Raju, a highly successful producer known for his recent blockbuster releases like “Game Changer” and “Sankranthi Ki Vustuunnamu,” rose from distributor to one of Tollywood’s leading producers. The IT department is also investigating Mythri Movie Makers, the production house behind the hugely successful “Pushpa 2,” along with the homes of its key personnel. Searches are also reportedly underway at the offices of Mango Media, a company associated with singer Sunitha’s husband.
The raids follow a period of significant activity in the Telugu film industry, with several big-budget releases during the recent Sankranti festival. The scale and scope of the IT operation suggest a wide-ranging investigation into potential tax evasion within the industry. Further details are expected as the investigations continue.
