Usually, a film that one hero rejects may end up being taken on by another hero, and there are instances where such movies become blockbuster hits.
However, in this situation, the scenario is different.
A story was narrated to Nithiin, and after listening to it, Nithiin did not turn down the film; in fact, he liked it very much. But he felt that Sidhu Jonnalagadda would do more justice to the story than him.
It is known that the movie "Telusu Kada" commenced with Siddhu Jonnalagadda as the hero under the banner of People Media Factory. Originally, this movie was not intended for Siddhu but was a project Nithiin was supposed to undertake.
Directed by Neeraja Kona, Nithiin was the first one to hear the story. At that time, he was shooting in Maredumilli. After listening to the narrative, he believed that Siddhu would be a better fit for the role than him.
Moreover, Nithiin immediately called Siddhu at late night, marking their first conversation.
Following Nithiin's suggestion, Siddhu gave his approval after hearing the story, and the project smoothly took off. But the film, initially meant to be produced by Nithiin, eventually went to People Media.
Therefore, Nithiin's movie "Telusu Kada" found its way to Siddhu Jonnalagadda. Siddhu also expressed his gratitude to Nithiin for entrusting him with such a good story.
Siddhu Jonnalagadda revealed these details during the promotions of Nithiin's "Extra-Ordinary" movie.
