Earlier, as many as 1,454 members out of a total 1,600 cast their votes in the Film Chamber office at Film Nagar.
Dil Raju on Saturday ruled out any differences with his rival Kalyan. “We have come forward to strengthen the Telugu Film Chamber of Commerce. All the producers who are most happening and are in top form today are in my panel,” he had said. Stating that the exhibitors have some problems with governments, he felt that to resolve these issues, a strong body is needed.
Dil Raju said that he chose the film chamber over political battle despite having chances to become a Member of Parliament from Telangana.
