Tollywood film director Sekhar Kammula’s political thriller Leader, starring Rana Daggubati, is one of the most memorable movies in Telugu cinema history even if its box office returns were unimpressive. Leader set the benchmark for political fiction and earned a loyal following that has generated increasing hype for a possible sequel, Leader 2.
In an interview recently, Sekhar Kammula confided that Leader 2 was long in his mind with an already well-developed story waiting to take off. Still, he added that with the change in political scenario and the mindset of the audience post-release of the first film, the scenario has altered enormously. He highlighted the fact that the changes had to be replicated in the same way to get the sequel relevant and meaningful.
Although there has not been an official announcement of the release date of Leader 2, the director’s words have again raised hopes among the fans awaiting its release. Sekhar Kammula, on the other hand, is in preparations to release his new venture, Kuberaa.
