This doesn’t come as a surprise as many of the films have now either postponed their theatrical releases or have opted for alternative release, by releasing it in the digital platforms. Most have even started contemplating a hybrid release just like how Salman Khan’s “Radhe” was released earlier this month. While that happens, many others like Bell Bottom, Hungama 2, Mini, Sherni chose to go for a direct OTT release.
Major was announced back in 2019 and its shoot started somewhere around Feb 2020. With Covid taking over, they still were in a good position as they could complete 50% of the shoot by September. By 2021 everything was said to be done and the movie was ready for a theatrical release in 2021. “Major” stars Adivi Sesh in the lead and titular role of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Besides him, Sobhita Dhulipala, Saiee Manjrekar, Prakash Jha, Revathi play significant roles in the movie. The movie is directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka and is produced by Sony Pictures India in association with Mahesh Babu’s GMB Entertainment and A+S Movies.
The movie is based on Martyr Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who has played a crucial part in taking down the terrorist of 26/11. He is hailed as a hero for his contributions to the army and his act during the terror attacks of 26/11. The movie celebrates his heroics and along with it his life and embraces his spirit of life in this beautiful movie that has been made as tribute for this great man.
