At present, Sekhar Kammula is busy with his upcoming film ‘Love Story’. Starring Naga Chaitanya and Sai Pallavi in lead roles, the shooting of the romantic-drama is proceeding at a rapid pace in Hyderabad. Meanwhile, Sekhar’s birthday was celebrated on the sets of the film and photos from the cake-cutting session are going viral on social media.

Set for a release in April, a promo on Chaitanya’s character in the film was released on his birthday. Though the short clip didn’t give away much, it had a few hallmarks of a typical Sekhar Kammula hero – a relatable man-next-door in a middle-class setting.
