Dil Raju is happy that '118', the film he has distributed, is doing well at the box-office. Meeting the press today, he said that the film is hoped to continue to exceed expectations. The investigative thriller has earned Rs 3 Cr share in AP and Telangana for two days.

"After 'Pataas', Kalyan Ram has one more success with '118' in my association. The reviews have been very encouraging. I have known KV Guhan since the days of 'Khushi'. I congratulate him on the success. Kalyan Ram has sidestepped from his mass kind of movies for '118' and the audience are liking it. Years ago, Mahesh Koneru came to me showing interest to work as a PRO for my banner. I am happy that his film has become a hit," Dil Raju said.

Kalyan Ram thanked the audience for making the film a hit. "It was Dil Raju garu who had first said that 'Pataas' will work. After four years, he offered to distribute '118'. He watched it and liked it and told us that he will distribute the film. Dil Raju garu has got the biggest distribution network. Mahesh (Koneru) hasn't had to go through worries because he is the distributor," the Nandamuri actor said.
