DJ Tillu, starring Siddhu Jonnalagadda and Neha Shetty in the lead roles, is a full-on entertainer directed by debutant Vimal Krishna and produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under Sithara Entertainments in collaboration with Fortune Four Cinemas. Vimal Krishna and Siddhu have worked on the story and screenplay. Having impressed audiences with the promos, teaser and the two songs (the title track and Pataas Pilla), the much-anticipated trailer of the film was launched at AMB Mall, Hyderabad today.
The trailer starts with the title character DJ Tillu proclaiming that he’s got an opportunity to compose for Allu Arjun’s film and that the star is a big fan of his music. Tillu is head over heels in love with Radhika but suspects she’s cheating on him. He later talks about a piece of land that many people claim to own (including him) and tries to settle the issue. Radhika is frustrated with Tillu’s insecurities and another guy appears to be the third wheel in their relationship. On a sarcastic note, the trailer ends with Tillu offering tips to Radhika about managing an affair without getting caught.
The film has all the ingredients to be a non-stop entertainment ride with Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s on-screen energy, terrific dialogue delivery. While Neha Shetty grabs a meaty role, the presence of Brahmaji, Prince Cecil and Narra Srinivas guarantees rip-roaring laughter at the theatres. The spirited background score and music by the likes of S Thaman, Sricharan Pakala and Ram Miriyala enhance the impact of the trailer further.
” We (I and Vimal) wrote the film during the first COVID-19 lockdown when we were panicking about almost everything and anything. DJ Tillu is a character sans any inhibition, has a unique body language and speaks his heart out. I’m quite confident about DJ Tillu’s prospects at the box office, it’s mass entertainment at its best. Audiences will burst out laughing endlessly throughout the film. Trivikram (sir) has been a huge pillar of support and motivated us about the film’s potential time and again,” Siddhu Jonnalagadda stated.
“I enjoyed the trailer and I hope audiences like it too. I thank Naga Vamsi (garu) for giving me an opportunity to work in a leading banner and my director Vimal Krishna for believing that I could play Radhika. Working with a multi-talented co-star like Siddhu was a great learning curve. It was super-fun working with Prince. DJ Tillu is a perfect mass entertainer and I’m sure it will leave viewers in splits in theatres,” Neha Shetty said.
“I am grateful to Naga Vamsi (garu) for trusting us (me and Siddhu) wholeheartedly with DJ Tillu. When we began working on the film, our only motto was to entertain audiences as much as possible. DJ Tillu is an out-and-out fun movie and I earned a new friend through the making, in the form of Prince. We were batchmates in the same college but we couldn’t meet because he hardly came there,” director Vimal Krishna added.
“DJ Tillu is a fun film aimed at the youth and will be a special attraction for this Valentine’s Day. I thoroughly enjoyed working on a young, vibrant film after a long time,” producer Suryadevara Naga Vamsi shared.
DJ Tillu has music by Ram Miriyala and Sricharan Pakala while S Thaman has come up with the background score. The film is slated for a release on February 11.
