Interesting facts

DJ Tillu is a 2022 Indian Telugu-language crime comedy film directed by debutant Vimal Krishna who co-wrote the film with Siddhu Jonnalagadda. Produced by Naga Vamsi, the film stars Jonnalagadda as the titular character alongside Neha Shetty, Prince Cecil and Brahmaji.

Production

Vimal Krishna narrated the storyline of the film to actor Jonnalagadda in 2019, but production got delayed due to COVID-19 pandemic in India. The film was announced in October 2020 under the title Narudi Brathuku Natana. Director Trivikram Srinivas also guided Krishna and the team in designing the story and screenplay of the film.

The film's title was then changed to DJ Tillu for a shorter name. About his character 'Tillu' in the film, Jonnalagadda told The Hindu that "I grew up in areas near Padmarao Nagar (in Hyderabad). Youngsters in Warasiguda and Chilkalguda talk like Tillu (the Hyderabadi Telangana dialect). We wanted Tillu to reflect on how these youngsters speak and how they handle things.

Principal photography for the film began in February 2021 but was then later stopped due to the second lockdown in India. Filming was then resumed in June 2021.
