Adivi Sesh who made a mark on the Telugu audience with films of unique subjects is coming up with Major – his first Pan-India film which is the biopic of 26/11 Mumbai Terror Attacks Hero, Major Sandeep Unni Krishnan. Sony Pictures is a partner in the film production and it is supposed to release on July 2nd across the length and breadth of the country. But then, the makers recently postponed the release owning to COVID second wave conditions.
Meanwhile, it is reliably learned that an OTT major made a stunning offer to Sony Pictures for a direct Online release. The deal is sufficient to recover the entire budget of the film and would even leave them with some profit. But the makers rejected it straight away.
“Major is a film close to the hearts of the makers. It is a tribute to Major Sandeep Unni Krishnan and his family. It will be disrespectful to them if the release is decided just on the basis of commerce. Moreover, Major is made for a theatrical experience. Even though many films have come on 26/11, Major offers a unique experience and is mounted on a huge canvass. So, there is no way the movie can be released on OTT,” a source close to the movie unit told us.
