New age director Sekhar Kammula makes a strong comeback as his latest release ‘Fidaa’ has opened to terrific openings. The film has garnered more than Rs 10 crore in AP, TS in three days and rocking US box-office too, since Sekhar is a brand overseas.

After a dud like ‘Anamika’, the ace director returns to his comfort zone and dishes out a light-hearted romantic comedy. In fact, director gave a much-needed hit to Varun Tej and also made a star out of talented actress Sai Pallavi.

“Her spirited performance is one of the highlights of this love story. While Varun Tej fits into the boy-next-door lover boy role with consummate ease,” says distributor Ramakrishna. The director who is known for hits like ‘Anand’ and ‘Happy Days’ wanted to try out a different genre with ‘Anamika’, remake of Bollywood blockbuster ‘Kahaani’ and made changes but it failed to impress Telugu viewers.

Sensibly, Sekhar took a long break for almost 3 years and returned with a heartwarming script and revived his winning habit. His teaming up with Dil Raju, has proved a success once again, since it was the former who released ‘Happy Days’ which minted money even in remote areas and took Sekhar closer to masses.

T-town can boast of a handful of tasteful filmmakers and Sekhar leads the pack and his return, augurs well for directors who are adept in penning feel-good entertainers.
