First look of Adivi as Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan
The 'Look Test' video of Adivi Shesh as 'Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan' has raised the brows and now the recently unveiled 'First Look' poster further raised the expectations on this biopic. Shesh exactly looked like Major Sandeep with his terrific transformation and awed all and sundry with his intriguing pose.
On the occasion of Adivi Shesh's birthday, the makers of this biopic have dropped the first look poster on social media. In this poster, Adivi Shesh is draped in the commando uniform and is seen armed with a sniper rifle in hand. His intense looks and the fire in his eyes have made this poster a worth watch. Adivi Shesh who is stepping into the shoes of Major Sandeep has undergone a lot of transformation and also researched a lot about the 26/11 Mumbai attack hero.
He met Sandeep's father and mother and also took their consent showing them script before kick-starting the shooting. The movie is being directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka and bankrolled by Tollywood ace actor Mahesh Babu under GMB Entertainment association and Sony Pictures Productions banners. This flick is a bi-lingual one as it is being made in both Telugu and Hindi languages. Tollywood glam dolls Sobhita Dhulipala and Saiee Manjrekar will be the lead ladies in the flick.
Speaking about his role in this biopic, Shesh doled out, "When we were attending the 10-year memorial event of 26/11 in Mumbai in 2018, I saw a banner that was dedicated to Major Unnikrishnan, which we have replicated in the film, too. It struck me then that the character we were developing on paper was real. The incident was real, and so was the ultimate sacrifice. These things make you more vigilant towards a bigger responsibility to not only play the part correctly, but to also not lose focus of what you set out to do. The 26/11 incident forms a highlight of the narrative, but the idea is to show the world the kind of person he was as a son, a friend, a colleague and a soldier."
'Major' movie is a tribute to the national hero Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan as he lost his life saving many innocents and breathed his life fighting hard with the deadly terrorist group.
