In a significant move, Income Tax officials launched extensive raids on Tuesday, targeting Tollywood's leading figures and production houses, including top producer Dil Raju, the offices of Mythri Movie Makers, and Rangayya Finance Company.

Dil Raju, who is riding high on the success of his recent blockbuster Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, faced raids at his residences in Jubilee Hills and Banjara Hills, as well as at other properties linked to him.

IT officials also conducted searches at the homes of his brother Sirish and daughter Hanshita Reddy, as well as his business partners. Officials are reportedly scrutinizing key financial documents and transactions during these operations.

Simultaneously, the IT department has also turned its attention to Mythri Movie Makers, one of India's top production houses. The production house recently scored a massive success with Pushpa 2.

This coordinated operation involves over 200 officers conducting raids at 55+ locations across Hyderabad.
