The first look of the much-anticipated Telugu film Badass has created a major buzz, with Sithara Entertainments officially announcing the project and unveiling a powerful visual that has instantly captured everyone's attention. The bold tagline, “If Middle Finger Was a Man,” sets the tone for the film, promising a daring and confident narrative that stands out from the usual fare.

Badass brings together the popular duo of actor Siddhu Jonnalagadda and director Ravikanth Perepu, who previously collaborated on the successful Krishna and His Leela. However, this time, they’re stepping into entirely new territory. Unlike Siddhu’s usual fun-loving, playful roles, Badass takes a sharp turn towards a more intense and emotional drama. The film marks a significant shift in Siddhu’s acting career, as he embraces a darker, more serious side, which has piqued the interest of fans and critics alike.

The story of Badass is written by both Ravikanth Perepu and Siddhu Jonnalagadda, with Ravikanth also taking the director’s seat for this project. The film promises to showcase Siddhu’s versatility as an actor, and the makers are confident that his performance will surprise audiences. With a higher budget, a strong creative team, and a fresh approach to storytelling, Badass is expected to be one of the most talked-about Telugu films of 2026.

Produced by S. Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya, under Sithara Entertainments, Fortune Four Cinemas, and Srikara Studios, Badass is gearing up to make a huge impact when it hits theaters. The first look alone has raised the bar for expectations, and fans are eagerly waiting to see Siddhu’s transformation in this intense new role. As the film continues to generate excitement, Badass is set to be one of the standout releases in 2026, redefining Siddhu Jonnalagadda’s career trajectory in the process.
