Actor Siddu Jonnalagadda, known for his role in Tillu, has found himself at the center of a social media controversy after a comment about his favorite hero sparked online trolling. Siddu, who is preparing for the release of his upcoming romantic youth entertainer Telusu Kadaa on the 17th of this month, engaged with fans on Twitter (X) a day before the movie’s release. During the interaction, when a fan asked him about his favorite hero, Siddu named Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor, a response that quickly became a topic of debate.
The backlash came primarily from Telugu cinema fans, who questioned Siddu’s choice of a Bollywood actor, given the presence of several popular Telugu stars. Many netizens expressed disappointment, questioning why Siddu didn’t mention a Telugu hero, while some even criticized him for favoring a Bollywood actor despite the support he receives from Telugu industry stars. However, others defended Siddu, respecting his personal preference and arguing that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
Despite the controversy, Siddu remains optimistic about the release of Telusu Kadaa, hoping that it will serve as his comeback after a string of recent setbacks at the box office. The movie features Raashi Khanna and Sreeleela as the heroines and is directed by Neeraj Kona, with TG Viswaprasad and TG Krithiprasad producing the film. Siddu is hopeful that the film’s success will help him regain his footing in the industry.
As the movie’s release draws near, the controversy surrounding Siddu’s comment may add to the buzz, but the true test will be the audience’s reception of Telusu Kadaa. With the support of his co-stars and the movie’s creative team, Siddu is aiming for a strong comeback and hopes to turn the negative attention into an opportunity for success.
