Major is a biopic on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who saved multiple lives and lost his in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack. Directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka, the film stars Adivi Sesh in the titular role. The film is bankrolled by Mahesh Babu and other production houses. The film is gearing up for a grand release soon. However, Sandeep Unnikrishnan's father shared his thoughts about the biopic and said that he is not convinced still.
Unnikrishnan said, "I am not convinced still. I can see some sincere efforts. I have more belief in Shashi Kiran Tikka than Adivi Sesh. I hope Shashi was here. He is there. When I watch the movie, then (I will) give a certificate of 100 percent, until then it will be 70 to 80 percent. The shoot is over and the release is announced, so let us see. I have seen Sandeep, I am his father. I am his critic, I am disciple, he was my mentor, such a personality. He was my son. There are a dozen people who spoke the same thing about making a film on Sandeep either on phone or in person or through somebody else. When they came I took it as one of such claims, I didn’t want to commit anything. I feel they cannot depict Sandeep as it is, it is not possible. For that matter, any biopic will not bring out anything 100 percent. We should be thinking about the maximum we can go. I am not criticizing the efforts, he (Sesh) is very sincere. I have not seen his work, I don’t want to, I want to see Major.”
