Major, one of the most awaited films of the year, is based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, the decorated NSG Commando who perished while saving dozens during the 26/11 attacks. As the film is inching closer to its release, piquing the interests of the audience across quarters, the makers had the honour of a special meeting with Defence Minister of India, Mr. Rajnath Singh.
Actor – Adivi Sesh and Director – Sashi Kiran Tikka met with the Defence minister on Sunday, 1st May, in Delhi wherein the team showed the trailer of the film and discussed the story of the National Hero. Adivi Sesh portrays the titular role of Major Sandeep in the film.
Mr. Rajnath Singh graciously unveiled the slogan of the film. The words ‘Jaan Doonga Desh Nahi’ in tricoloured font set against a pure white canvas. These words are the fundamental philosophy by which Major Sandeep lived. The slogan highlights his spirit, the emotion by which he saw the world. For him, the country always came first.
