Leader

Tollywood hunk Rana Daggubati made his debut with this Sekhar Kammula directorial which was released in 2010. Sekhar, by touching such a serious topic proved that his directorial skills are not limited to only romantic comedy entertainers. A Nandi Award for Best Story Writer was won by Sekhar Kammula for this film. This movie strayed away from even a single, usual political gag, and therein lies its brilliance. The cast selection was great, the acting even better and the story was refreshing, to say the least.
