Siddu Jonnalagadda is an artist who’s been in industry circles for the past fifteen years, working on a series of passable low-profile films. Besides acting, he’s also a screenwriter and editor. Though Praveen Sattaru’s Guntur Talkies (2016) emerged as a sleeper hit, it just didn’t provide him with a breakthrough in his career. In 2022, he co-wrote and starred in the crime comedy film DJ Tillu, which went on to become a commercial success, thus providing him with a ‘break’.
Owing to the film’s result, a direct sequel titled Tillu Square (2024), with Siddu reprising his role, has been in production, which is slated for release next month. Despite delays in production and postponement of release dates multiple times, the film’s carrying good buzz among audiences; the most recent promotional content, the theatrical trailer, was well-received by audiences. Having said that, the production company is enjoying huge business offers, be it from distributors or from digital streaming platforms.
Though the figure remains unknown, it is known that Netflix has bought the film’s streaming rights for a record sum. Coming to theatrical rights, the film is expected to do a business of over 35 crore INR worldwide, which is huge considering its budget. All in all, Tillu Square is a huge opportunity for ‘Starboy’ Siddu to establish himself as TFI’s next big thing.
