Excited for this! Siddhu has such a unique comic timing. But I hope this new film gives him a chance to show more range as an actor, not just comedy. 'Telusu Kada' was a decent attempt at something different. Wishing the team all the best!

Good to see consistent work from Siddhu. The Telugu industry needs more actors with a distinct identity like him. Sithara and Naga Vamsi have a good track record. Hoping for a solid story this time, not just hype.

As someone who recently discovered Telugu cinema, Siddhu's performance in 'DJ Tillu' was a revelation! So fresh and hilarious. Eagerly waiting to see what this new project is about. The poster tagline sounds fun!

"Star Boy" is back! 😎 Hope this movie lives up to the hype. The Tillu franchise set a high bar for comedy. Swaroop RSJ has some interesting work. Let's see if they can create another memorable character.

Respectfully, I feel the article focuses too much on past successes. I'm more interested in what *new* thing this film will offer. Just hoping it's not a rehash of the same formula. Originality is key.
