Sobhita Dhulipala is all set to feature Sashi Kiran Tikka’s bilingual film “Major”.
Major is based on the life of the late NSG (National Security Guards) Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who died in the line of duty, trying to save 14 hostages inside the Taj Mahal Hotel during the 26/11 attacks.
In 2018, Sobhita made her Telugu film debut with Goodachari. After 2 years, she will be reuniting with her team.
Speaking of the challenges involved in making a film of this nature and after 2 years reuniting with the Goodachari team Shobita shares, “It is going to be an extreme yet tender, emotional experience. The attack gave us stories of courage, loss and tension, while also leaving behind massive wounds.”
About her prep, Sobhita reveals that her character arc is “impeccably detailed and honest.”
“It is integral to the narrative,” she keeps it short, refusing to divulge further details pertaining to her character.
Sashi is kicked about the reunion with Sobhita.
“It is exciting that we are doubling the challenges by making this film in Hindi simultaneously,” added Sashi.
While Sobhita adds, “Goodachari went on to become a critical and commercial success, so it is wonderful to reunite with the same team for a film as feisty as “Major”. Sesh and Sashi, who have become my friends, are people with immense clarity of thought and action.”
This film also features Telugu actor Adivi Sesh as Sandeep and is produced by Sony Pictures India and Mahesh Babu. It is being shot in Telugu and Hindi simultaneously.
