Sekhar Kammula plans a sequel to ‘Leader’
It is worth reminding that Ace film-maker Sekhar Kammula is silent now-a-days and he is busy finishing his upcoming film ‘Fida’ with Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi in the lead roles and Dil Raju bankrolling the movie. The shooting of the film is presently on in the US in an abroad schedule. During a recent interview, Sekhar Kammula had revealed an interesting fact that he is planning to bring out a sequel to the movie ‘Leader’, which he made somewhere during 2010.
In this film Sekhar Kammula portrayed the character of the protagonist as a US returned youth, who joins politics to cleanse the entire system. Now Sekhar Kammula is having an idea to bring out a sequel to the movie and it may happen in 2019 and not in the immediate future. It may be recalled here that general elections are on cards in 2019 and Sekhar Kammula is planning to bring out the movie before the country goes to polls.
Apparently, Sekhar Kammula is thinking of penning a story based on the contemporary political situation in the country in general and the Telugu-speaking states in particular. The scion of Daggubati clan, Rana played the lead role in the earlier version titled ‘Leader’. Let us wait and watch whether Sekhar Kammula would rope in the same hero or choose some other hero for the lead role.
