Siddhu Jonnalagadda is eager to shed the tag of being confined to comic capers and youthful entertainers.
The failure of Jack has made him realize that the DJ Tillu brand of roles alone may not sustain his career in the long run.
Determined to reinvent himself, Siddhu is now in talks with filmmakers known for offbeat storytelling. He recently met director Praveen Kandregula to discuss a concept-driven project.
While Praveen has yet to score a commercial hit, his films like Cinema Bandi (Netflix) and Subham (produced by Samantha) earned him critical appreciation. However, his last outing Paradha faced both box office failure and criticism.
Praveen is keen to prove himself with a star-driven project, while Siddhu is equally interested in experimenting with fresh stories that move beyond his comfort zone. Their collaboration, if finalized, could mark an interesting shift for both.
Meanwhile, Siddhu has begun promotions for his upcoming release Telusu Kada, scheduled for next month, and is also preparing for projects like Kohinoor.
