Raj Nidimoru is a renowned filmmaker known for creating The Family Man and the Citadel: Honey Bunny series. While his work is widely recognized, his personal life has recently come under the spotlight. Despite being married, he is rumored to be dating Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Speculation intensified after she shared some photos of him on her social media handle. Before diving into the details, let’s take a moment to understand who Raj is.

Who is Raj Nidimoru?

Raj Nidimoru is a well-known Indian filmmaker. He is best recognized as one half of the popular creative duo, Raj & DK. His collaboration with Krishna D.K. started in 2002 when they worked together on their first short film, Shaadi.

Over the years, Raj and DK have delivered some of the most acclaimed projects in Indian entertainment. One of their standout successes is the hit series The Family Man. The show earned praise for its gripping story and unique blend of action and satire.

Raj was born in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. He completed his engineering studies in India and later pursued further education in the United States. His move abroad didn’t slow down his creative journey. Along with Krishna DK, he co-founded D2R Films — a banner known for offbeat, engaging stories.
