Siddu Jonnalagadda project with Neeraja Kona not happening. Following the resounding success of 'Tillu Square,' Siddhu Jonnalagadda is reportedly considering a postponement of his upcoming film 'Telusu Kadha' with debutant director Neeraja Kona, despite its initial launch. A source close to the actor reveals, "The success of 'Tillu Square' has prompted Siddhu to reassess his priorities. He is now inclined towards projects that offer greater creative freedom and scope, including larger-scale productions."
The source further elaborates that Siddhu is wary of falling into the trap of stereotypical romantic films and is actively seeking roles that exude high energy and a fast-paced narrative. "DJ Tillu is on the lookout for distinctive characterizations that align with his persona as a charismatic, lively lover known for his witty one-liners," the source adds.
Neeraja Kona, who transitioned from stylist to director for 'Telusu Kadha,' had initially pitched a poignant love story. However, the film's future now hangs in the balance. "Neeraja may need to consider casting an alternative lead or be prepared for an extended wait," the source suggests.
Siddhu's recent success, with 'Tillu Square' grossing over Rs 43 crore, has propelled him to new heights, and he is determined to maintain the momentum and excitement surrounding his projects. "He is collaborating with a talented team of writers to develop compelling roles that will complement his evolving image. As a result, he intends to take some time to refine his strategy," the source concludes.
