Some roles have the power to turn actors into stars. A single character can elevate their career, bringing them massive popularity. This is exactly what happened with Siddhu Jonnalagadda when he played DJ Tillu.
While he had already proven his acting skills in Krishna and His Leela and Guntur Talkies, it was DJ Tillu that changed everything. The role suited him so well that audiences found it hard to separate Siddhu from Tillu.

His expressions, dialogue delivery, and screen presence carried the same infectious energy that made Tillu an unforgettable character.
Now, Siddhu is gearing up for his next film, Jack, directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar. Bhaskar is known for strong characterizations, and this time, Siddhu faces the challenge of ensuring Jack doesn’t remind audiences of Tillu. This film is a crucial test for him.

Can he break free from his DJ Tillu image and prove his versatility? That will be answered when Jack hits the screens.
However, the film is struggling to generate buzz. Unlike Siddhu’s previous projects, the hype around Jack is surprisingly very low.

The situation worsened when the makers canceled the planned trailer launch event, opting for a direct online release instead. This unexpected move has raised doubts about their confidence in the film’s content.
The industry is counting on Siddhu to bring audiences to theaters, but without strong publicity, it could be a tough battle. The film stars Vaishnavi Chaitanya as the female lead, and Siddhu is said to have pulled off some impressive dance moves.
With just a week left for release, the team must intensify promotions. If the trailer clicks, Jack might still gain the momentum it desperately needs.
