On the occasion of actor Adivi Sesh’s birthday, the team Major came up with first look poster of the film. The young hero stuns as Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan here. Holding gun, he can be seen all focused. We can observe intensity in the eyes of Sesh and this shows how the actor completely immersed in the character.

Starting from training at a boot camp and physical makeover, Adivi Sesh pulled out all stops to get into the skin of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who sacrificed his life in the line of duty during the 26/11 terror attack in Mumbai.

Adivi Sesh and team Major honored and prayed for the victims, martyrs of 26/11 Mumbai attack on 27/11, the day Major Sandeep breathed his last.

After the super success of Goodachari, Adivi Sesh is quite cautious and is making interesting moves. His next film is titled Major and is inspired by the life story of Army Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who was martyred in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The Look Test of Major is out today and Adivi Sesh speaks about the journey which inspired him to make a film on Sandeep. He said that he was in USA when he saw the message that Sandeep Unnikrishnan passed away. He collected the information about Sandeep and met his parents on his return to India.

Adivi Sesh said that his parents never believed when he expressed his interest in making a film on their son. They slowly gained confidence and gave their nod after which Adivi Sesh started penning the script. Before this, he had ten-year research done on Sandeep Unnikrishnan. It was not an easy road for Adivi Sesh as he had to match him on screen and worked on his looks. He beefed up well to fit well in the role. A glimpse of Adivi Sesh as Sandeep has been released through the video and he looks perfect as Sandeep.

Sashi Kiran Tikka has been asked to direct the film which is now in the last leg of shoot.
