Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s film, Tillu Square, is wreaking havoc at the box office, amassing an impressive share of approximately 30 crores within just three days, achieving break-even status during its first weekend itself.
Tillu Square stands as a testament to Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s creative talent, with a lion’s share of credit rightfully attributed to him for its resounding success.
The production banner also deserves applause for their unwavering belief in Siddhu’s vision, script, and talent, showcasing remarkable patience that has undeniably paid off.
Amidst the accolades, it’s imperative to acknowledge another key player instrumental in Tillu Square’s success: director Mallik Ram.
Mallik Ram started his career in 2016 with a remake, Naruda Donoruda, which was a disaster. He then went on to direct some OTT projects. He has been in the industry for almost a decade waiting for that one big chance.
Transitioning from the OTT space to helming a much-anticipated film like Tillu Square was no small feat. Assigned to the project unexpectedly, Mallik Ram stepped in as a replacement for Vimal Krishna, the director of Tillu’s first installment.
With unwavering dedication, Mallik Ram embraced Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s vision. It is not an easy job to handle a monster like Tillu’s character. If not handled well, the character might go completely wrong.
Handling the pressure of directing a sequel to such a beloved film was a big challenge. Mallik Ram’s patient approach also included reshooting, demonstrating a commitment to deliver an entertaining film that significantly contributed to Tillu Square’s success.
However, Mallik Ram needs to utilize this success and pave the way for a bright future in Tollywood.
