Badass marks the return of actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda and director Ravikanth Perepu, the successful duo behind the hit film Krishna and His Leela. However, unlike their previous outing, this film ventures into completely new territory.
Departing from Siddhu’s typically light-hearted and humorous roles, Badass is positioned as a gritty, emotional drama. Both Siddhu and Ravikanth have co-written the story, with Ravikanth also helming the direction. The film aims to showcase a darker, more intense dimension of Siddhu’s acting prowess.
Backed by a bigger budget and a strong creative team, Badass is expected to be one of the most anticipated Telugu films of 2026. The film is being produced by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios.
Following the impactful first look reveal, anticipation around Badass has surged, with audiences eager to see Siddhu embrace a never-before-seen avatar.
