If things had gone as planned, ‘Tillu Square’ should have been released in September 2023. The massive success of ‘DJ Tillu’ prompted Siddu Jonnalagadda to attempt a second part and after a lot of replacements, Anupama Parameswaran is finalized as a heroine. The promotional material has been loved by the audience too but the movie is unable to find a release date.
There was a lot of buzz around this movie but it is petering out gradually due to continuous postponements. The shooting is going on at a relaxed pace and Siddu’s constant reshoots are reportedly delaying the production further. The makers announced that the movie will be hitting the big screens on 9th February but Sitara Entertainments sacrificed this date for ‘Eagle’ team who walked away from the Sankranti race.
With Vishwak Sen’s ‘Gangs of Godavari’ from the same production banner lined up for release in March, ‘Tillu Square’ team is looking for another release. As we know, April will be completely jammed with both AP and national elections. The political fever will grip the entire nation and reports suggest that ‘Tillu Square’ team has no other option but to plan a summer release.
Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas who produced the first part are bankrolling the second part too. ‘Tillu Square’ will be presented by Srikara Studios, and will be directed by Mallik Ram. Ram Miriyala, who’d originally composed and sung the title track of DJ Tillu, scores the music. Sai Prakash Ummadisingu cranks the camera for the project to be edited by Navin Nooli. AS Prakash is the art director. Siddhu himself wrote the film.
