Siddhu Jonnalagadda Returns ₹4 Crore After Box Office Failure of Jack
Siddhu Jonnalagadda, the young actor who gained massive popularity with DJ Tillu and its sequel Tillu Square. Recently faced a major professional setback with his latest film Jack. Unlike his earlier hits, Jack failed to connect with audiences and ended up being a box office disaster. The film couldn’t even recover 10% of its overall budget, leaving the producers and distributors in deep financial trouble.
The project was backed by veteran producer BVSN Prasad, with the Nizam rights sold for a massive ₹10 crore. However, due to the film’s poor performance, the distributor suffered heavy losses. And the producer’s investment also took a major hit. Aware of the situation and the monetary stress it created for the team, Siddhu decided to step in and help.
