This film is not abot Sesh is not about chasing stardom,he says. His intention remains the same: to be a part of creatively satisfying and commercially viable stories.
The whole goal of Major was very simple. The legacy of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnanhad to reach every heart from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. It started with the team meeting Major Sandeep’s parents repeatedly.
It took seven meetings before Major Sandeep’s parents trusted the film maker and adivi sesh fully.

Are you happy?” This made the hero realize where the journey has come and now we are family.

The stars of Major, and the making of the movie
The movie features Adivi Sesh, Saiee Manjrekar, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prakash Raj, Revathi, Murali Sharma, Vinay Nallakadi, Anish Kuruvilla and others.
A large portion of the film unfolds within The Taj Mahal Palace hotel where the Mumbai police and the elite NSG commandos need to make sense of the maze ahead of them. The terrorists have the blueprint of the hotel and the access cards, while the protecting forces only have their courage, apart from their rifles. There are several wow moments during the operation, almost like a mainstream action thriller. But it is done without diluting the battle that is on.
There is also a terrific segment where Sandeep manipulates the media which is live telecasting, unmindful of the harm it is doing to the hostages.
Vamsi Patchipulusu’s cinematography is an asset, moving from the cosy, warm portrayal of Sandeep’s early life and then shifting to the action mode. Sricharan Pakala’s music befits the breezy romance and family drama.
