Chaitanya claimed in the promotional video that Sekhar's ideologies have rubbed off on him, stating, 'When I first met you and worked with you in Love Story, I remember being obsessed with brands like any other young guy. But once I saw you and your friends, I saw the simple life you lead. They know what they want, they know what their happiness is. What else does anyone need? I really observed all of you, you and your gang have saved me a lot of money. I realised I just need to focus on what's needed.' This made Sekhar crack a smile as he replied, 'I am really so happy. Once you question yourself, there's no pressure.'
However, people on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube seemed not to buy Chaitanya's claim of leading a 'simple life'. One person pointed out, 'Meanwhile: Shekar kammula wearing us polo shirt.' Another wrote, 'Buddy owns some of the most luxury cars in the world. Had 2 dream weddings at an expense in which a middle class family will live one generation. His wear designer clothes and shoes. Which expense exactly did he cut? I wonder!' Some even noticed he had expensive watches on both his wrists, writing posts like, 'Telling all this casually wearing an @AudemarsPiguet Royal Oak offshore on the wrist,' and 'Says bro with two watches in both hands?' The Royal Oak chronograph Chay wears is priced at ₹41 lakh.
For the unversed, Chaitanya worked in Sekhar's last film, Love Story, which also starred Sai Pallavi. He played a marginalised caste man who falls for a woman battling childhood trauma. The film was released in 2021 and received good reviews.

NOT Ajay Devgn but THIS Bollywood superstar had registered Son Of Sardaar film title under his name
Soon after the success of Raid 2, Ajay Devgn is all set to bring another sequel that can rewrite box office records. The actor is now gearing up for the release of Son Of Sardaar 2, a sequel to his Hit comedy drama, Son Of Sardaar, released in 2012. While a bunch of new posters for the upcoming sequel are elevating the buzz, let us take you back to memory lane and shed light on an interesting anecdote related to the title of the movie. Though Son Of Sardaar is now popular as one of Ajay Devgn 's best titles, it was originally registered for an Akshay Kumar movie.

The actress tweeted, "Big thank you to the Rowdy Rathore Akshay Kumar for letting us have his title - Son of Sardaar! Ur a rockstar." Replying to the same, Akshay Kumar mentioned that Ajay is his brother from another mother. "You are Welcome, but I'm not a Rock Star, darling Ranbir (Ranbir Kapoor) is, I'm a Son of Sardar, that is why I gave it to my 'Brother from a Different Mother' Ajay. Enjoy (sic)," wrote Akshay Kumar. Despite facing an intense clash with Shah Rukh Khan's Jab Tak Hai Jaan, the Ajay Devgn starrer had emerged as a success and marked its entry into the Rs 100 crore net club in style. The movie also had Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla, Vindu Dara Singh, and veteran actress Tanuja in pivotal roles. Interestingly, Salman Khan did a cameo in the movie. Son Of Sardaar 2 posters and teaser Talking about Son Of Sardaar 2, the makers have started digital promotions. Slated to hit the screens on July 25, the sequel boasts an ensemble star cast with Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur in the lead.
