Directed by Jeevitha Rajasekhar, Rajasekhar’s starrer “Sekhar” is all set to hit the theatres on May 20. Celebrating the same, makers have organised a pre-release event on Tuesday with director Sukumar as chief guest.

Praising the hero Rajasekhar, who ruled Tollywood for a few days during the 90s with his super-hit movies, director Sukumar said that It’s the Rajasekhar movies like Aagraham, Aahuthi, Talambralu and Ankusham that inspired him to come to the film industry. He added that he has got the confidence to enter the film industry because of Rajasekhar.

Speaking about the same, Sukumar said ” I have a friend named Krishna who acts very well. I used to be very jealous of him as he was very popular in my college because of his acting skills. But, later I became more famous in my college by imitating Rajasekhar’s acting. And it’s the time I gained the confidence that I too can act or can be a part of the film industry”

Continuing the speech, he also added, “I can’t resist praising Rajasekhar Garu for letting his daughters act in movies. Many celebrities tend to keep their daughters away from the industry, but Rajasekhar hasn’t done it to his daughters. He encouraged them to go in the way they love”.
