Talk Of The Town: Lilly’s Bold Show

DJ Tillu was a massive box office hit, making Siddhu Jonnalagadda an overnight sensation. All eyes were on Tillu Square from the day it was announced. One of the biggest shocks was when it was revealed that Neha Sshetty would not be a part of the sequel. Later, it was announced that Sreeleela had been roped in to play the role, but she rejected the offer due to discomfort with the bold scenes.

Finally, Anupama Parameswaran was cast, which surprised many given her “girl next door” image. However, she started shooting for the film, and news came out that she had walked out, with Madonna Sebastian being brought in as a replacement. However, Madonna also backed out due to her reservations about playing the role. Eventually, Anupama returned to the project.

From the first look poster to the film’s release, Anupama has only made headlines. The teaser showcased Anupama in a bold avatar and her lip locks became the talk of the town. The young actress faced several trolls and this became a talking point more than the trailer or the hero Siddhu Jonnalagadda. There was a time when Anupama was being discussed more than the main lead Siddhu. Such things happen rarely in Telugu cinema when a heroine becomes a focus before a film’s release.

Things went sour when a new poster of the film created a controversy of sorts. Anupama felt hurt that she skipped the pre-release event of the film. But the makers supported her through the release and when the film came out, Anupama had stolen all the limelight. Be it with her glamor or her surprise negative act in the film, she has come out all guns blazing. With her bold scenes, rocking entry, twists that she brings, and the climax bang, she is also getting the loudest cheers along with Siddhu Jonnalagadda.

Also, the way she has held herself during this tough trolling phase has impressed many. With Tillu Square, Anupama has found new fame and will rule the roost with some big offers in the days to come. Now that the audience has accepted her in a glamorous role, it is on her as to how she plans her career from here on. For now, the Malayali kutty has become a major reason for Tillu Square’s sensational success at the box office.
