Chennai, Sep 19 (NationPress) The team behind director Ravikanth Perepu's highly anticipated action film 'Badass', starring Telugu sensation Siddhu Jonnalagadda, has issued a casting call for talented individuals who speak Telugu.
On their X account, Sithara Entertainments, one of the film's production houses, announced, "CASTING CALL for #BADASS. We are on the lookout for Telugu-speaking talent! Please send your details to: badassfilmcasting@gmail.com. For WhatsApp inquiries, contact: +91 9502619987."
The film's creators emphasized that they will not consider Instagram reels or phone calls.
Since the project was announced, excitement has been brewing among fans.
In July, when the film's title was revealed, Sithara Entertainments stated, "You have seen heroes and villains, but this character doesn't fit your stereotypes! Make way for STARBOY #Siddu as #Badass. This time, there's no mercy. He is prepared to ignite the screens. Directed by @ravikanthperepu and produced by @vamsi84 and #SaiSoujanya."
Producer Naga Vamsi added, "The ultimate #BADASS is here to make a statement. Our Starboy #Siddu is taking on a brand-new avatar. Coming to theaters in 2026, under the direction of @ravikanthperepu and production by #SaiSoujanya @SitharaEnts @Fortune4Cinemas #SrikaraStudios."
The production team also released a fresh poster for the film, slated for a 2026 debut. In this striking image, Siddhu Jonnalagadda is depicted lighting a cigarette next to what appears to be a camera from a news channel.
The film's tagline has intrigued fans even before the first look was unveiled, reading, "If middle finger was a man." While the plot details of Badass have not been officially disclosed, reports suggest that Siddhu will portray an actor, with the storyline addressing the challenges faced by individuals in the film industry.
Anticipation is high for the film, particularly since Sithara Entertainments also produced Siddhu Jonnalagadda's hugely successful Tillu franchise.
For Siddhu Jonnalagadda, much hinges on the success of Ravikanth Perepu's Badass and his upcoming project with director Neeraja Kona, titled Telusu Kada, especially after his previous film, Jack, didn't perform well at the box office.
