"Irumudi is a massive success. Wonderful to see the love and response the film is receiving. Ravi Teja garu and the entire team deserve all the appreciation for their hard work," wrote Ram Charan, praising the 5-day-old movie of the Mass Maharaja, on Wednesday. His social media post coincided with the grand theatrical release of Yash's Toxic, a mammoth gangster actioner that has displaced Ravi Teja's movie in hundreds of screens across Nizam and other territories.
Tollywood observers sense that the Peddi actor has taken a dig at Dil Raju by choosing to make the post on the Toxic day. Last year, after Game Changer tanked at the box office, Dil Raju's cousin, Shirish Reddy, stated in an interview that Charan didn't even care to make a courtesy call. Since then, there has been a rift between Raju and the Mega camp despite Shirish's public apology within two days. Since Raju has huge financial stakes in Toxic, the Mega Power Star chose its release date to praise its chief competitor, Irumudi.
