Shekar Kammula is a sensitive human being. You will know it when you see his movies. There is always an understated elegance to his works.

The director's new film Godavari has just released.

It now turns out that Shekar has taken no remuneration for the movie so far. He has said that he would get it only after the film breaks even.

This was revealed by Godavari's producer GVG Raju yesterday at the film's special premiere at Imax Screen of Prasads Multiplex.

The special screening for the biggies as well as the general public had tickets sold for Rs.300.

Speaking to the media on the occasion, Raju said it was a pleasure to work with Shekar and he was a thorough gentleman all through.

Sumanth, who plays the hero in the movie, was all thrilled about having worked in the movie. He said the movie had gone down well with his family members, who are generally hard to please.

Shekar himself said the movie was a collective effort and it was nice to know that the film was being received well.
