The first teaser of Adivi Sesh starrer 'Major' was released on Monday and it has surpassed all the expectations. It was released by Salman Khan, Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj. The one and a half minute long teaser was filled with goosebumps inducing moments and energetic music. The voiceover throughout the the teaser explains what it means to be a soldier. For his passion project, Adivi Sesh has transformed himself into Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan.

Adivi looks the splitting image of the braveheart who gave his life during the 2008 seige of Mumbai. The quick cuts don't let us follow much of the action but the over the shoulder shot really give the film a realistic take. The project is helmed by Sashi Kiran Tikka and superstar Mahesh Babu has bankrolled it.

About the hero of the film, Adivi said, "The world only knows how heroic he was and how he died in his final moments. But, everything I loved about him was the way he lived. 26/11 was not the chapter that defined him. Yes, it was an important chapter. But, he was a captain in 7th Bihar when he fought in Kargil. He served in Hyderabad. He went to the National Defence Academy. He was a training officer in the National Security Guard. I was interested in how beautifully he lived his life. That’s what I wanted to make a movie about."
