Sekhar Kammula, a filmmaker who doesn't fit and seen in usual Film world which is filled with stars, star directors, meets, parties and events. He is seen very rarely that too in a small function to launch a book or to say few words about small films he like. Not only his films, Sekhar too doesn't try to promote him in the glamour world. He and his films... That's all for him. He is a software engineer by profession and a filmmaker by passion. Sekhar Kammula always has sensible and natural emotions in his film. He never goes with the current trend to cash on the craze of stars or his fame. He makes what he believes. His films always have very strong women chracters. This made him different and standalone from his contemporary directors.
He made his first film Dollar Dreams as an independent film crowd funding from from his friends and released it in a couple of theatres in Hyderabad. It's more like a documentary than a film. He did in late 90's and fetched him recognition. Sekhar's second film, Anand too follows the same path. But, this time he made it in a more refined way suitable for movie format. Anand too was released in very few cities. But, in its second and third week the word of mouth spreads and film began to screen in more number of theatres.
His Godavari has earned a special place among the directors. It brings name nad fame to him. Then he made Happy Days with all new comers and it created a sensation. Since then there is no turning back for him. He introduced Rana Daggubati as Hero with Leader which depicts current political scenario in a honest manner. After Life is beautiful and Anaamika, Sekhar is back with a bang. His Fidaa starring Varun Tej and Sai Pallavi has made both of them as stars. He again worked with Sai Pallavi for Love Story costarring Naga Chaitanya and delivered once again with a complex point of child abuse.
Sekhar Kammula is currently making a film with Dhanush as hero and Nagarjuna in a crucial role with Rashmika Mandanna as lead actor. For the first time he is coming out of his zone and making a gangster drama. He is also committed to make another big budgeted film which is high on VFX and an extravaganza affair.
