As we all know, Rana Daggubati made his debut in Sekhar Kammula’s political drama film, Leader (2010). The movie carried a good buzz since its basic plot greatly resembled the then-political scenario of United Andhra Pradesh. Releasing in February 2010, the film received high critical acclaim with praise for its story, direction, performances, and music, thus emerging as a sleeper hit at the box office.
All of this is now relevant because a direct sequel to Leader (2010) is currently in pre-production. Jointly produced by Suniel Narang and Puskur Ram Mohan under Sree Venkateshwara Cinemas (Asian Group), the movie marks the company’s third collaboration with Shekhar Kammula after Love Story (2021) and the untitled Nagarjuna-Dhanush multi-starrer film. On January 31, 2024, an official announcement regarding the production company-director collaboration was made via Twitter, which fueled speculations about the sequel.
Though the team has yet to announce its cast, Rana Daggubati is expected to reprise his role as a young chief minister, Arjun Prasad. With music composed by Mickey J. Meyer, the original film also featured Priya Anand and former actress Richa Gangopadhyay. Fans of the Bahubali star will hope this flick will revive the actor’s career, which has been going downhill lately.
