Riding the wave of the massive success of DJ Tillu, actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda is all geared up to come back in a never-before-seen avatar with his next film BADASS. This time, he’s dropping the party-boy image and taking up a darker, grittier character that will surely hit hard. Supported by Sithara Entertainments—the creative power behind the Tillu series—the film plans to bring a high-octane cinematic experience that defies conventions.
Reuniting the winning pair from Krishna and His Leela, BADASS is being directed by Ravikanth Perepu, who has also written the script in collaboration with Siddhu. The pair have created magic earlier and their fans cannot wait, and as of now, the project is making big waves in film news as well. With the mere title announcement and poster, the movie has been making head turns and generating interest.
The first-look poster says it all. With the unapologetic tagline, “If middle finger was a man,” for a character, it hints at Siddhu’s scorching hot, no-holds-barred personality. The actor is lighting a cigar in the midst of a gaggle of media cameras, radiating raw power and brashness. It’s a dramatic departure from his earlier roles, promising a performance that’s raw, gritty, and unapologetically bold.
Produced by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios, BADASS is turning out to be one of the most eagerly-awaited Telugu movies of the next few years. With its renegade attitude and power-filled visuals, the movie is likely to project a completely new aspect of Siddhu Jonnalagadda as an actor.
BADASS is expected to be released to the silver screens in 2026, and the fans are already eagerly waiting for its release.
