Actor Adivi Sesh is leaving no stone unturned in the marketing of his soon to be released film 'Major'. Based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, the film is a passion project for Sesh and he has devoted last few years of his life to tell the inspiring and incredible story of a national hero as accurately as possible. During a recent conversation with The Indian Express, Adivi talked about the similarities and differences between him and Major Sandeep and shared how he prepped for the part.

The actor stated, "My face is (similar to his). But, as people, I am not the half the man he was. He was incredibly right-handed. The way he fired a gun and loaded the mag. He was very proficient at it. Here, I am a civilian, who is completely left-handed. At the beginning, I thought that I had the experience with guns from Goodachari and I can do this film. But, I had to re-learn everything because he was right-handed. The way he stood and his posture, the tone and tenor of his voice."

Talking about the preparation, Adivi said, "When we were trying to find out about the person he was, I got most of the information from my incredibly long conversations with uncle and aunty (Major Sandeep’s parents). His cousin sister Snadhya too. I obviously met with his army superiors and met with his colleagues at 7th Bihar and NSG. We frequented his school, Frank Anthony Public School, in Bangalore. We even walked around the Taj (Hotel) to understand the geography of his final moments."

'Major' is set to release theatrically on 3rd of June.
