Young hero Adivi Sesh is making his Bollywood debut with the upcoming bilingual biopic Major, in which he will be playing the character of the 26/11 martyr, Major Sandeep Unni Krishnan. The actor, who has also written the film, delves into the research that went behind the script with an emotional video released today on 12th death anniversary of Major Sandeep.
“Here it is. “The Look” Test in English & Hindi. I shared My feelings so that everyone could understand why this film means so much to us. The highest compliment was when Major #SandeepUnnikrishnan’s mother told me “You look like my son from afar”. My humble attempt to find his spirit within myself,” tweeted Sesh.
“#MajorBeginnings to the inspiring journey of the nation's undying hero, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan!! Best wishes to @AdiviSesh and the entire team! ,” stated Mahesh Babu who’s co-producing the film.
The video posted by Sesh unveiled the emotional journey of Sesh in making the film. He revealed that Major Sandeep’s parents didn’t initially give him the nod. But, they said yes to make the biopic only after meeting them 4 to 5 times.
Sesh resembles Major Sandeep Unni Krishnan in the look test photograph. Directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka, Major first look will be revealed on December 17th.
