Adivi Sesh shares Major secrets

Adivi Sesh is getting ready to entertain with his film Major. The film directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka is the biopic of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who martyred while saving many during the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. The film is releasing on February 11, 2022. Speaking to scribes Adivi Sesh shared Major secrets and what it was like transforming into the role.

He said he grew up in San Francisco, USA, and happened to see26/11 Mumbai Attacks on TV and was shocked to see the photo of Major Sundeep Unnikrishnan and felt that he was like his family member. He said he was inspired by him and decided to do a biopic to tell not just the 26/11 Attacks and 48 hours of Major's life but 31 years of his life.

He said at first Sundeep Unnikrishnan's parents did not give permission despite repeated requests but after a female member from his team called and they had multiple meetings, they finally gave the green signal. About transforming into the role of Major Sundeep Unnikrishnan, he said "Yes. I had to really work hard to look like him. I am six foot two inches and I was around 88 kilograms when I went to meet Uncle and Aunty (Major Sandeep’s parents). I am 78 kgs now. I had to shuttle among 74 kgs, 78 kgs, 81 Kgs or 84 kgs in the film to look like him during the various times in his life that we show on the screen. I had to also change a lot of things about myself. I am a southpaw and he was right-handed. He is a decorated officer and had a wide stance while I just stand with drooping shoulders. I had to change my walking style, manner of speaking, and voice modulation as well. And this is just the physical aspect of it."

He said the film was shot in Hyderabad recreating the iconic Taj Hotel, Gate Way of India sets. He said the film's trailer will be released in January.
