'Badass' first look: Siddu Jonnalagadda's wild side impresses in the new glimpse- Watch
Actor Siddu Jonnalagadda will be next seen in his upcoming film, 'Badass' and the makers of the film recently unveiled the highly anticipated first-look poster on X (formerly Twitter), which features Siddu in an edgy, intense avatar.
"You have seen heroes and you have seen villains. But this one's not here to fit into your labels! Make way for STARBOY #Siddu as #Badass. This time no mercy. He's going to set the screens on fire," read the caption shared along with the poster.
As seen in the poster, Siddu dons a no-nonsense attitude different from his charming boy image. Messy hair, rugged clothing, he is seen lighting a cigarette.
The film also marks a much-anticipated reunion for the actor and director
Ravikanth Perepu
, who last collaborated on the popular film 'Krishna and His Leela'.
Interestingly, just like their previous outing, both Siddu and Ravikanth have co-written the script. The first announcement for the film had already generated buzz with its tagline: "If middle finger was a man".
With 'Badass', it looks like Siddu is not playing it safe. He's stepping away from conventional roles and leaning into a zone that's edgy, unconventional, and unapologetically wild. Siddhu got recognition for his character in the 'DJ Tillu' film, who is a carefree and witty aspiring disc jockey whose life spirals into a chaotic mix of crime and comedy.
Following the success of 'DJ Tillu', Siddhu reprised his role in the sequel 'Tillu Square', which again was a superhit.
On the professional front, Siddu was last seen in 'Jack', an action-comedy where he starred opposite Vaishnavi Chaitanya. Directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, the film had a modest release earlier this year but unfortunately failed to perform at the box office.

Some also questioned why other disruptive activities, such as rave parties on beaches involving alcohol, don't attract similar outrage. A few Indians online apologized on behalf of the group, urging newcomers to learn and respect local customs. 'Clearly, some education is important before people come and live with other cultures,' one comment read. Others noted that such practices are uncommon in India, where even religious river dips traditionally avoid soap. "You want to hate on them because you're a racist? Fine, own that. But don't dress it up with some fake 'conscious eco-climate warrior' spin. Lol. The west caring about climate. Nature & environment," wrote one X user. Another wrote, "This is not the norm in India either, and I agree that this is not acceptable behavior. My request to colleges, companies, immigration consultants helping. Any one to get visas to please hold orientation programs on etiquette and expectations. This goes both ways." The incident has reignited debate about respecting local traditions, cultural stereotyping, and the environmental damage caused by using soap in public waters .

See pics) Watch the video here: The drone footage shows two Yellow Line trains and two Green Line trains passing by each other at the RV Road interchange station, a junction where the newly opened Yellow Line meets the Green Line. Since its posting, the video has gone viral, with users praising its timing, aesthetic appeal, and nostalgia. How did X users react? One user wrote, 'Wow! This looks unreal.' Another reminisced, 'RV Road was originally called AC Road. It was one of the most beautiful stretches in Bengaluru two decades ago with massive trees and parks. It's less now, but still lovely.' However, the video also drew skepticism. One user questioned the realism, asking, 'Looks animated. With 25-minute intervals, how is this possible? Has BMRCL validated this?' Responding to the doubts, an account named Grok clarified: 'It's real, captured by a certified drone pilot in Bengaluru. The video shows Yellow and Green line trains aligning in frame near RV Road interchange. With Yellow's 25-minute frequency and Green's ~5–10 minutes, such a shot is possible by waiting for schedules to sync. No AI artifacts detected.' Bengaluru's newest metro corridor The viral moment follows the recent inauguration of the Yellow Line by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday. The 19.15-km line runs between R.V. Road and Bommasandra, passing through bustling IT and industrial corridors like Electronic City and Bommanahalli. On its first day of commercial operations (August 11), the Yellow Line recorded 52,215 boardings, contributing to Bengaluru Metro's highest-ever single-day ridership of over 10.48 lakh passengers.

Alien: Earth X review: Fans praise the FX sci-fi's blend of horror and philosophy, but some call it a ‘Temu version' of Blade Runner
Alien: Earth X review: The release of Alien: Earth on FX has ignited a storm of conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with viewers passionately debating whether it's a brilliant extension of the Alien franchise or an uneven experiment in sci-fi storytelling. Created by Noah Hawley, the show blends horror, suspense, and corporate intrigue, set two years before Ridley Scott's original Alien film. While many praise the dystopian drama's gripping atmosphere and layered storytelling, others are calling out its ambitious visuals and hybrid storyline, comparing it to 'a Temu version of Blade Runner.' Here's a breakdown of what the show is about, its cast, and the online buzz it's generating. What is Alien: Earth about? Set in the year 2120, Alien: Earth follows the crew of the USCSS Maginot, who crash land on a section of Earth controlled by a rival megacorporation after transporting dangerous alien species for decades. As these creatures escape, hybrid children, human consciousness in synthetic bodies, are sent in to contain them. The series blends the gritty, industrial look of the original Alien films with new elements of AI, corporate greed, and human arrogance, creating a tense, unpredictable narrative. Alien Earth X review: Fans are divided The reaction on X is far from unanimous. Many fans of the Alien franchise are thrilled, praising Hawley for capturing the claustrophobic tension and industrial realism of Ridley Scott's original. Some call it 'the best sci-fi TV since The Expanse' and highlight the way it ties into franchise themes of corporate exploitation and human hubris. Alien Earth is hands down one of the most incredible TV shows I've ever watched. You guys aren't prepared for this #AlienEarth One X user said, "Alien Earth is hands down one of the most incredible TV shows I've ever watched," while another user called it a 'masterpiece': "The scale, the atmosphere, the vfx omg they've created true masterpiece i would say." The scale, the atmosphere, the vfx omg they've created true masterpiece i would say. This sequence was truly felt real.#AlienEarth #alienearthfx On the flip side, critics and casual viewers are more sceptical. A recurring joke on X compares the visuals to 'a Temu version of Blade Runner,' pointing to the mix of retro-futuristic sets and occasionally uneven CGI. Others question whether introducing hybrids changes the Alien lore too much, especially since they've never appeared in previous films. Really dig ALIEN: EARTH. While it might have been better served as an original instead of tied to the ALIEN franchise, it has some cool sci-fi concepts and new creatures to play with. Occasionally feels like a BLADE RUNNER series mixed with ALIEN, but that's fine with me. Still, the conversation is buzzing, with even its detractors admitting the series is visually ambitious and loaded with potential for future seasons. The Alien: Earth cast Alien: Earth features a rich ensemble led by: Sydney Chandler as Wendy, the first hybrid, her human consciousness transferred into a synthetic body Alex Lawther plays CJ 'Hermit', Wendy's brother and a Prodigy medic Timothy Olyphant stars as Kirsh, the synthetic mentor guiding Wendy Samuel Blenkin becomes Boy Kavalier, the wealthy CEO of Prodigy Corp Essie Davis portrays Dame Sylvia, a scientist overseeing the hybrid children Babou Ceesay appears as Morrow, the cyborg security officer aboard the Maginot. The show also includes an ensemble cast of hybrids collectively known as 'The Lost Boys,' such as Adarsh Gourav (Slightly), Erana James (Curly), Lily Newmark (Nibs), Jonathan Ajayi (Smee), plus humans like David Rysdahl (Arthur), Diêm Camille (Siberian), Moe Bar-El (Rashidi), and Adrian Edmondson as Atom Eins. Where to watch Alien: Earth? In the United States, Alien: Earth premiered on FX and began streaming simultaneously on Hulu at 8:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Internationally, the series is available on Disney+ or Jiohotstar, starting in each region's local time, e.g., August 13 in the UK and Europe.
