After the massive success of DJ Tillu and Tillu Square, actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda is back in action once again, collaborating once again with producer Naga Vamsi for their much-awaited third outing. Directed by BADASS, the film is already making waves due to its defiant title and highly dramatic first-look poster.
The poster presents Siddhu in a never-before-seen tough avatar—cigarette in hand, brooding in expression, and amidst mayhem. It’s unpolished and earthy, and the indication is of a drastic departure from his previous light-hearted performances. The bold feel is further added by the tagline, “If middle finger was a man,” and the tone is thus set for a defiant, no-holds-barred story.
Contrary to the playful and lighthearted nature of the Tillu franchise, BADASS offers Siddhu a darker, edgier character, hinting at an entire shift in style and story. The development has left fans question-marked, awaiting how Siddhu brings this brooding character to life on screen.
The film is directed by director Ravikanth Perepu. The movie is being produced by producer Naga Vamsi on the banner Sithara Entertainments, with Fortune Four Cinemas and Srikara Studios joining the production as co-producers.
Currently in production, BADASS is scheduled for a big theatrical release in 2026. Backed by its uncompromising visuals, unpolished idea, and a ferociously talented team of creatives handling the business behind the camera, the film is being touted as the career-changing moment for Siddhu Jonnalagadda.
