Adivi Sesh's starrer film 'Major', which speaks of patriotism and courage, hit theaters on June 3. The film received a great response from the audience. Prominent figures in the field of art and culture welcomed the film with open arms.
Major is a film directed by Shashi Kiran Tikka based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Major Sandeep was martyred during the Mumbai terror attacks.
Adivi Sesh talks about the changes that took place when he became Sandeep on screen. Adivi Sesh spoke about Sandeep in a video posted on Facebook.
“When Major finished filming, I wondered if it could contain the spirit of Major Sandeep. Don't come forward, I can handle them, that was the last thing Sandeep said. Those were the words that show how he looked at life. He valued the lives of others more than himself. Despite being so privileged, he showed kindness to humans and animals.
My first challenge was to become physically like Sandeep. I am left-handed. He shoots with his right hand. I had to learn his mannerisms to be like Sandeep.
I had met Sandeep's parents. Aunty said she likes my laugh but it's not like Sandeep's. You control your laughter and she said that Sandeep's laughter, expressions, and emotions were very clear. It looks the same in his photo. After that, I tried to think emotionally like him. I started thinking about the decisions he had made. The Army has an unwritten rule that training officers cannot go on any missions. But he went. He led from the front. After acting as Sandeep, I became more compassionate, kinder, and less selfish. He is aggressive and soft. He is brave and kind.
My journey was beyond what was shown in the movie. I did not know if I could be Sandeep in real life. But I would have been a good son to uncle and auntie. This video is not about how I became Sandeep, it's about how Sandeep changed me;” said Adivi Sesh.
Meanwhile, the actor Adivi Sesh is getting praises from everywhere for his exceptional portrayal of the role. Audiences say that Adivi is capable of portraying Sandeep Unnikrishnan's personal and professional life in the best possible way. A member of Twitter said that the success of films like this is the greatest honor we can give to our soldiers. Audiences say that this film is the best tribute to Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.
