Siddhu Jonnalagadda
DJ Tillu has swiftly risen as a popular comedy series in Tollywood, and the massive success of its second installment, Tillu Square, is a clear indication of its popularity. However, the lead actor, Siddhu Jonnalagadda, has hinted at a potential change in the Tillu universe.
The sequel, Tillu Square, starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Anupama Parameswaran, garnered widespread acclaim. Released on March 29, the film received tremendous hype from fans and audiences alike, grossing an impressive 23 crores worldwide. With another installment, Tillu Cube, already in the works, Siddhu has teased potential alterations to the franchise’s storyline.
In an interview with Galatta Plus, Siddhu expressed his openness to exploring new plotlines for Tillu. He mentioned the possibility of transforming the titular character into a superhero, departing from the usual narrative of a regular guy facing romantic disappointments. This suggests Siddhu’s desire to offer a fresh portrayal of Tillu in future films.
Siddhu elaborated on his vision for the Tillu universe, emphasizing dynamic changes. He proposed abandoning the cliché romantic storyline in favor of a superhero narrative, where Tillu grapples with newfound powers. While this idea introduces comedic possibilities, it also carries risks.
While the current formula of romantic escapades involving characters like Radhika and Lilly has proven successful, Siddhu’s proposed shift raises questions about the necessity of altering a winning formula. However, considering the potential for audience fatigue with repetitive storylines, Siddhu’s superhero concept offers a means of rejuvenating the series.
Ultimately, whether Siddhu’s proposed dynamic change proves to be a necessary innovation or an unnecessary gamble remains to be seen. Only time will tell if his vision for the Tillu franchise resonates with audiences and revitalizes the series’ appeal.
