Production
In September 2023, it was confirmed that Vijaya Prasad and Yogesh would collaborate on the sequel to Sidlingu, titled Sidlingu 2. Yogesh reportedly underwent a physical transformation, growing a beard and hair and gaining weight, to portray the role of Sidlingu. [4] [5] In March 2024, it was reported that Ramya would not be joining the cast of Sidlingu 2, as the role of Sumne didn't fit the story's narrative. [6]
Reception
A. Sharadhaa of The New Indian Express rated the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Despite some loose ends in the climax’s court scene and a few forced political and celebrity references, Sidlingu 2 offers an emotional rollercoaster, meditating on the nature of desires, materialism, and the deeper meaning of life." [11] Y. Maheswara Reddy of Bangalore Mirror gave the film three out of five stars and wrote, "Vijaya Prasad has managed to keep this movie clean with no dirty dialogues." [3] Shashiprasad SM of Times Now gave it two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "There are a few moments that evoke memories of 2012 Sidlingu, but overall, the sequel’s car story remains stuck in second gear for most of the journey, failing to offer anything truly exciting." [12]
Sridevi S. of The Times of India gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars and wrote, "While Sidlingu 2 has flashes of brilliance and strong performances, its uneven screenplay and tonal inconsistency prevent it from reaching its full potential." [13] Jagadish Angadi of Deccan Herald gave it two out of five stars and wrote, "After a promising start, the screenplay loses steam, and the narration becomes flawed. The story is dragged down by unnecessary elements, putting the audience’s patience to the test." [14] Vivek M. V. of The Hindu wrote, "The background score, shot compositions, and production value resemble a television serial. Time and again, cinema has proven that it’s difficult for directors to bank on their past success. Sidlingu 2 is yet another example." [1]
