At the grand audio release function of AVM's Leader, Shekar Kammula stated that his new offering was a kind of film that would make Bharat Mata (personfication of India as mother goddess) vigorously dance (tandava). A director-writer who is critically acclaimed for believing in making value-based entertainment, he has Dollar Dreams, Anand, Godavari and Happy Days as the director to his credit.
In Kammula's words, he could not zero in on a subject after Happy Days turned out to be a big hit and expectations on his next film touching skyhigh. So when he sat down to watch television and news, he arrived at the conclusion, watching the political drama unfolding before his eyes, that a leader differed from a politician. Thus was born his concept Leader.
The tall thin director added that the film was going to be a tribute to Bharat Mata, in that She will "do tandava". The film is about a youngster and how he grows to be the 'leader.' It stars Daggubati Rana in the lead. The film is releasing on December 18.
