Adivi Sesh is one actor who shot fame and rose to a star with back to back hits in the genre of thrillers. His recent offerings impressed all the audience because of the interesting narration and the thrilling twists. He signed Major which is based on the life story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, a real-life hero who lost his life during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Sashi Kiran Tikka is on board to direct the film.

The pre-production work of the film is currently in the final stages. Adivi Sesh already lost 10kgs for the role and he will lose 5 more kgs to reprise the role of Major. Abburi Ravi is busy with the dialogue version and a massive set of Taj Hotel (Mumbai) is being erected across the outskirts of Hyderabad. Adivi Sesh is monitoring the pre-production work personally along with the set work of the film.

Major will start rolling from November and will be shot extensively in Hyderabad and Mumbai. Major is aimed for August 2020 release and is bankrolled by Sony Pictures, GMB Entertainment.

Young and talented actor Adivi Sesh is riding high with back to back hits. He has turned out to be the hot favorite when it comes to thrillers in Telugu cinema. His recent offering Evaru is having a decent run at the box-office and the buyers already recovered their investments. The actor who worked without major breaks will be off for the next couple of months. His next film Major is currently in the final stages of pre-production.

Adivi Sesh will essay the role of Major Sandeep Unni Krishnan in Major. The actor will be spotted in a lean look and he is currently on a rigorous diet. Sesh will lose 10kgs in the next two months before he starts shooting for the film. Sashi Kiran Tikka will direct this film and Major will be shot in a specially erected set mostly. Sony Pictures along with Mahesh Babu’s GMB Entertainment will bankroll this prestigious project. Major releases next year.

For some reason unexplained, directors of Adivi Sesh’s hit films like Kshanam, Goodachari and now Evaru are unable to lock any new hero for their second Telugu film.

Ravikanth Perepu is yet to do another film since Kshanam has hit the marquee in 2016. Sasi Kiran Thikka hasn’t done any other film after Goodachari, but Sesh gave him the mantle of ‘Major’ movie. Same is going to be the case with Venkat Ramji who carved Evaru movie.

While Ravikanth’s film with Rana never took off, Sasi Kiran is directing Sesh’s Major movie, while Venkat Ramji announced that he will be focusing on Evaru 2 with the same hero. Wonder why they stuck with the same hero rather finding other stars after scoring massive hits?

“As they delivered some stunners with their debut, star heroes expect them to come up with scripts that are much bigger in scope and stamina than their first films. But the script of these directors’ first films has lots of influence and inputs from Sesh, that these directors find it tough to make another such story” says a source in the know.

Whiel Evaru and Goodachari directors are able to lock their next projects, it’s surprising to see Kshanam director yet to make a move.
