Entry to filmdom

While as a student, PC Sekhar had no big dreams of entering tinsel world, a life changing event did occur when he was pursuing his degree. One of his brothers-in-law Rajendran being an actor, it so happened that PC Sekhar visited the Vikram-Soorya starrer Pitamagan shooting spot and got captivated by film-making. Eventually he made a couple of short films Ne Yen Nanban da (You are my Friend) and My Imagination (silent movie). Both these short films were critically acclaimed in some of the film festivals. This naturally boosted not only his confidence, but even his family begin to dream big on the director in him. This implied that the brother himself started producing his initial movies.
