Sidhu Jonnalagadda

Sidhu Jonnalagadda, born 7 February 1992 in Hyderabad, Telangana, isn’t your run-of-the-mill actor—he’s actually a bit of a chameleon. You’ve probably seen his face in some of the more offbeat Telugu flicks floating around lately. The guy doesn’t just act, either—he writes scripts, pens dialogues, and basically throws himself into whatever project he’s working on with a sort of madcap energy. You might know him best from DJ Tillu (2022), which is a wild ride—a crime comedy steeped in Hyderabad flavor, where Sidhu’s performance is full of quirks and swagger. He’s got this knack for playing these flawed, hilarious characters who mess up a lot, but you still root for them. Before that, he did Maa Vintha Gaadha Vinuma (2020), a rom-com that goes off the rails in all the best ways. Sidhu’s sense of timing—both comic and dramatic—kind of anchors the whole thing, even when the plot gets a little bonkers. And then there’s Krishna and His Leela (2020), where he juggles relationships in a way that’s way too relatable for anyone who’s ever been in a messy love triangle. The film’s a bit meta, a bit slice-of-life, and Sidhu pulls it all together with this easy, natural charm that doesn’t feel put on. Honestly, he’s one of those actors who makes you forget you’re watching a movie—he just feels like some dude you know, caught up in ridiculous situations. Sidhu’s career is on a roll, and you get the sense he’s just getting started.
