Telusu Kada Budget: How Much Siddhu Jonnalagadda Needs To Be Hit?

Telusu Kada Budget: Siddhu Jonnalagadda has become one of the promising young stars in Tollywood and is now gearing up for his next release, an ambitious project titled Telusu Kada. This movie is directed by stylist turned filmmaker Neeraja Kona, making her directorial debut along with high production value. The film is produced by People Media Factory. The final estimated budget for Telusu Kada goes to around ₹35 crore, making it the most expensive film in Siddhu’s career as of now.

Inside the Budget and Non-theatric Earnings

The production budget stood at ₹28-30 crores. This includes cast, crew, music, and post-production costs. An additional ₹5-7 crores has been allocated for print and publicity, digital campaigns, trailer launches, and influencer collaborations.
On the revenue side, Telusu Kada has already wrapped up non-theatrical bargaining. The OTT rights are to fetch ₹14-16 crores, while negotiations for satellite rights are proceeding at ₹6-8 crores. Music rights will go with Aditya Music for ₹1.5 crore, securing terrific pre-release recovery cushion.

Box office targets and profit benchmarks

Telusu Kada requires a share of ₹10-12 crore from theaters, meaning that gross box office figures should lie in the range of ₹22-25 crore. To be labeled as “hit,” it would have to gross about ₹30 crore. While gross figures above ₹40 crore would declare it a “superhit.”

Can It Deliver?

Telusu Kada holds good commercial prospects in terms of fresh chemistry, great music, and time for the festival season. But given the high budget, the box office performances would more highly depend on the general opinion of the audience. If Siddhu’s magic and the storytelling connect with the youth, the film could easily breach the mark and become one of the most successful releases from Telugu cinema in 2025.
