Siddu Jonnalagadda, an artist active in the industry for fifteen years, has primarily worked on lesser-known films as an actor, screenwriter, and editor. Despite his involvement in projects like Praveen Sattaru’s Guntur Talkies (2016), none provided the breakthrough he sought.
However, his 2022 crime comedy film, DJ Tillu, which he co-wrote and starred in, turned the tables. It became a commercial success, marking a pivotal moment in his career. The film’s success paved the path for its sequel, *Tillu Square* (2024), in which Siddu reprises his role. Despite production delays and revised release dates, the film has sparked strong interest among audiences.
The recently released theatrical trailer received a great response, increasing the film’s buzz. The production business receives numerous attractive proposals from both distributors and digital streaming services. While the specific sums are unknown, Netflix has acquired the streaming rights for a significant fee, indicating the film’s potential.
Regarding theatrical distribution, Tillu Square is anticipated to surpass 35 crore INR in worldwide earnings, a remarkable feat considering its budget constraints. Tillu Square presents a monumental opportunity for Siddu Jonnalagadda, affectionately known as ‘Starboy,’ to solidify his status as the next big thing in the Telugu film industry.
