This interview with Sekhar Kammula is simply superb. His honesty is refreshing. What a fine human being this guy is, Kudos! We are lucky to have such an intellectually mature movie maker in Telugu. The frankness with which he relates his experiences in America, especially about working with African-American students at Howard University, Washington D.C., his views on the caste discrimination in India, his firm ideas about treating the opposite sex with dignity, and his definition of success are all highly commendable! [It is unfortunate that the interview is in Telugu and has no English subtitles! Hope someday English subtitles are added to this interview, as it must be compulsorily watched by all the youngsters of the nation!]. Finally Bravo Prema garu and iDream team! 👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
huge fan of yours shekhar garu. I think #Leader is the finest work of yours till date. it will have its space in TFI forever. Then #Godavari is my favourite. well connected with the hero's character. #Anand is completely a magical film and so is #Happy days. We want you to direct Pawan in political subject.

"if a film is not understood by people it should be bad or ahead of its time" - Meeru cheppina ee mata so true sir andulo Nenokkadine is the best example - way ahead
Bro One has achieved cult status. Even many of my Tamil and Hindi friends talking abt it. Right now when we compared the level of filmmaking happening in India, then One movie is actually way ahead of its time. The only drawback of the movie is that improper placement of the songs, But I think these type of genres doesn't require a song in the first place....
bro anand was a excellent film and was superhit, but when it comes to collections it was just a break even!! Even a small film wasnt able to generate revenue inspite of getting BB talk, #1nenokkadine is a high budget film, how can it recover investment

lovely interview.. got a feeling that we can listen to this guy even if he speaks for hours.. very genuine person.. premagaru, buttering the interviewee taggindi.. very happy!!
Leader is still your best movie Sekhar sir. Until this interview, I don't know it is failure at box office. The background music, songs and few scenes really gives goose bumps. Wish you all the luck with Fidha, we need many movies from you.
role of Kamilini in Happy days reached most audience as how she helped that person how he over come his english hurdle, but not as few some people seen as odd. its not hard to understand what is importance of her role in the movie... if she or who so ever feel its their understanding.
I remember getting his autograph after Happy Days released, when he came as a chief guest to our apartments, such a humble person and such a down to earth interview.. Sekhar garu, your an inspiration and I look at that autograph everyday
So smart but very innocent and down to earth Sekhar Kammula,the way he defined the signature movie of his SUPURUB.Leader movie is a master piece of his we need more movies like that,I don't know how many times I saw it.
inspiring and thought provoking...i have inspired many things from him...such a cool guy..a good father, social activist, idealogist,# "K.K" u are real hero
I don't really have a good impression about the film industry considering how socially irresponsible they are, and I don't watch their interviews or not at all eager to know their personal opinions. But you sir! are an exception. This is the first interview I have seen completely.You are the 'change'. Keep doing good movies, we will definitely watch! All the best
Sir, you have spoken about Telugu...thats touched my heart.. even though i spoke in similer lines - no one cares. here "no one" is telugu prrson badly... We have to strictly learn from neighborhood states on how mother tongue is important for us.Great way of thinking👌👌👌👌
meevi konni cinemalu fail ayyayemo...kani meeru ela teesina cinemalu maa lanti kontha mandiki nachutundi....every time aanand lanti cinemalu ralevu...endukante..appudu aanadh cinema flavour ki value undadu...all d best sir...keep going
The african-american topic is certainly a surprise(given my expectations before watching the interview) and it was conveyed in an amazing manner. His thinking ability is beyond obvious and it reflected in all his movies so far AND i don't think anchor/interviewer is up to his intellect to grasp what is being said by him and hence the questions posed weren't really interesting.
never realized relationship between emotional connect and Telugu language. After listening to you, I am realizing how true that is. ippatikii sekhar kammula interview ante... em cheptharu vindhaam ane interest inka vundhi...most of it is good, but shocked to see how he defended life is beautiful movie... assalu connect avvaledu aa movie ki.. and also wanted to knkow why he didn't repeat radha krishna as music director after Anand and Godavari
mee presence of mind ki truly hatsoff Shekhar.. Even in casual talk also your frankness, down to earth nature, honesty last but not least humanity ki vandanam.. Telugu bhasha meeda meekunna gauravaniki sirassu vanchi vandanam.. cheppalante meeku naaku chala common nature points vunnai... :D
Sekhar garu Anand is the best movie till date of modern Times, only a person who believe in their script can craft such a masterpiece. It'll be remembered as a classical hit for future.

Sir thanks for the amazing interview. It took me 4 days to complete the interview. I never watched an interview this long. Your simplicity is the best thing I admire in you. Thanks a ton for leading by example..... Telugu industry lo meeru undatam mem cheskunna adrustam. Hats off to your thoughts about life :)
Thanks Prema mam,you are doing very clean n decent questions how one journalist You are not troubling actors with controversial like others , keep it up
Good Conversation :-) Hats Off Mr. Sekhar kammula for being so down to earth & making good thought provoking movies. Your thoughts on today's generation , on our mother tongue ' Telugu " need to be addressed & implemented. Missed few inside details of Godavari movie making.
I am watching this interview more then 10 times he speaks more beautiful then his movies.. Shekhar guru is great and director then ss Rajamouli mainly the way his responsibility towards society
I liked your Leader and consider your best film till date. You touched a very vexing issue of corruption among politicians and the film unintentionally seeped into many near real life scenarios in Telugu states! As far as Fida is concerned, it is an honest love story, thoroughly entertaining, with no huge villain angle with Prakashrajs of the world. One can watch Fida anytime for entertainment. I have a simple observation though...Of course, undoubtedly the heroine Sai Pallavi has done exceptionally well. Having said that, the story line is so nice and endearing...as you mentioned in various interviews, you look not for earth shattering but only natural simple acting...you could have chosen a new talent locally who would have lifted the movie by a notch or two. I bet you choose any hardworking actress from any other language, they will learn their lines and carry off the story equally well. In the end the movie appeared to be a rather long audition test for Sai Pallavi ( of course she passed the same in flying colours). Your script is the king! You could have perhaps taken a Telugu girl and the result would have been more mind blowing!!!Similarly I sometimes feel if you stick to usual dialect followed in all Telugu films ( instead of trying to please KCR on a lighter note), perhaps the movie may be still better. It is a little ...put off dialect ....considering the standard movie genre. In short Telangana dialect is an USP but not so positive USP!But I know it is difficult for you to agree with me!
best and enjoyable interview.. I haven't passed the video or fwd .. continues 3hrs .. manchi coffee lanti interview. tq prema Garu. but 1 thing.. leader is an owsm film .. plz go & watch again :)
