Originally, Major was supposed to release on July 2 last year. Again, the second wave of Covid-19 forced the makers to postpone the film. Amid the third wave of infections in the country, many big-budget Telugu movies had to be postponed. And they are expected to start releasing in cinemas from early February.

Major is a passionate project for Adivi Sesh. In addition to playing the decorated NSG commando, he has also written the film. Filmmaker Sashi Kiran Tikka, who helmed Adivi’s hit spy thriller Goodachari, has directed the movie.

Major is based on the life and times of late decorated Indian soldier Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. The film aims to tell the tale of a hero, who lost his life fighting terrorists during the 2008 Mumbai serial attacks.

The film has been shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. It will also be dubbed in other south Indian languages. Sony Pictures Films India, GMB Entertainment, and A+S Movies have jointly bankrolled Major.
