By: Shanaz B Syed | 17 Feb 2026 1:57 PM ISTSome heroes come out of the blue and prove to the world what they are capable of. When Siddhu Jonnalagadda started with movies like Guntur Talkies and Krishna & His Leela, this is what he proved to Tollywood. That craze went to the next level with the DJ Tillu movie, but then, it looks like some cautious approach is needed, and the hero is fully aware of that.
Other than DJ Tillu, none of Siddhu Jonnalagadda's other films worked out at the box office in recent times. Movies like Jack and Telusu Kada are a major disappointment both at the box office and in content-wise as well. This is leading to some tension, as per insiders, and he’s securing his future by agreeing to do a web series for Netflix, says a source. Very soon, his new Netflix series might go on floors.
Though Siddhu further wants to capitalise on the brand of DJ Tillu by doing Tillu Cube movie, as his Tillu Square also made good revenue at the box office. However, repeating the same film will thin out his chances to secure a long-term place as a dependable hero, and hence he’s going OTT way, say some insiders.
