The eagerly awaited film Raghu Dakat, announced in 2021, continues languishing in limbo, with its shooting delayed again. Despite initial promises of a December 2024 start, whispers within Tollywood suggest that production has hit another roadblock. This marks the fourth year of uncertainty surrounding the project.
Raghu Dakat, produced by SVF and directed by Dhrubo Banerjee, features Dev in the title role. The film’s motion poster, released in 2021, generated significant buzz, but delays have plagued the project.
Sources indicate that the production company needs to reevaluate its commitment to the film, citing budget concerns and Dev’s unavailability. Dev’s packed schedule, with upcoming films like Khadaan and Waiting, has reportedly made it challenging to allocate time for Raghu Dakat.
Dev’s recent film, Tekka, directed by Srijit Mukherji, received a positive response at the box office during Puja. The actor’s fans eagerly await his next releases, but Raghu Dakat’s uncertain fate has left them disappointed.
Industry insiders speculate that the film’s budget, initially estimated to be substantial, may have been a major contributor to the delay. With production costs escalating, the producers may be reassessing the project’s viability.
The prolonged delay has sparked concerns about the film’s future. Will Raghu Dakat eventually see the light of day, or will it remain in development limbo? Only time will tell.
Context of Delays:
Raghu Dakat’s tumultuous journey began with its announcement in 2021. Since then, the film has faced numerous setbacks.
Despite Raghu Dakat’s uncertainty, Dev’s fans can look forward to his upcoming films:
– Khadaan: Releasing during the Christmas holidays, featuring Jisshu Sengupta.
– Waiting: Slated for release next year, directed by Abhijit Sen.
As Raghu Dakat’s fate hangs in the balance, Dev’s fans remain hopeful that the film will eventually materialize. However, for now, the cloud of uncertainty surrounding this highly anticipated project persists.
