Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s Next Film Shelved

Unsurprisingly, Siddhu’s next project, Kohinoor, is now on ‘indefinite hold’—a filmy euphemism for being shelved. This is a setback for the actor, who had emerged as one of Telugu cinema’s most sought-after talents after DJ Tillu and Tillu Square. However, the underperformance of Jack, followed by the disappointing run of Telusu Kada, has led many to write him off as a one-time phenomenon.

Directed by Ravikanth Perepu, Kohinoor was planned as a high-budget franchise featuring lavish action and music. After two back-to-back flops, Siddhu is no longer seen as a financially viable lead for a project of such scale.
