I liked Sai PallaviвЂ™s performance in Dhee dance program. WhatвЂ™s the reason for casting Sai Pallavi? The following factors will help the movieДЎ. Youngsters and progressive girls connect with Fidaa very well. Nobody complained about sound of generator. There are lots of Telugu families in the neighborhood we shot at. The second USA camera unit has done a splending job. I have to thank a lot of people who volunteered to help us out with logistics. I thought that it would be a cakewalk to do a film in USA with the connections I have. This film was aimed for December 2016, but got postponed due to Varun TejвЂ™s injury. Finally, We had selected Austin, Dallas where there is some greenery. I didnвЂ™t want the film to appear like a touristy one. I didnвЂ™t want to shoot in Bay Area (San Francisco etc) as it was well exposed in Telugu cinema. ItвЂ™s a barren land in East Coast in January and February. Varun Tej has got injured and shoot was postponed. We wanted to shoot in fall (October and November) because we wanted to capture fall color and snow. In USA, We thought of shooting in Atlanta, Virginia and NJ. By taking Banswada (Telangana) as the village, we created an interesting backdrop to the story.

There is a stereotype that village means mostly Konaseema villages in Telugu films. Then I realised that we didnвЂ™t have any romantic film made in Telangana rural backdrop and it serves as a refreshing factor. My team member Chaitanya suggested that we should have girlвЂ™s backdrop as Telangana. ItвЂ™s a love story between Telugu girl from a village and a Telugu guy from USA. There is a key element (differentiating point) to the story which I canвЂ™t reveal before release. Dil Raju wanted to make a film with me and he suggested the name of Varun Tej. I always wanted to do a film with USA backdrop. As a filmmaker, I thought that it was an obligation to make a woman-centric film like Anamika.ДЄfter Anamika, I decided to get back to romantic genre where my strength lies. After the release, I realised that my fans doesnвЂ™t want such films from me. I didnвЂ™t want to show my heroine as a vulnerable character. ThatвЂ™s the reason why I removed pillow-faking aspect in climax. ThatвЂ™s when I got an offer to remake Kahani. Nirbhaya was one such incident that made a deep impact on me. Each and every filmmaker is disturbed by certain aspects. I was affected the issue of Nirbhaya and I was going to many colleges to motivate students. What went wrong with your last film Anamika (Telugu remake of Bollywood blockbuster Kahani)? A soft-spoken Sekhar Kammula tells us about Fidaa and his style of filmmaking. Sekhar Kammula who made his mark with independent and successful films like Anand, Godavari and Happy Days is coming again with Fidaa film after a gap of 3 years.
