Salman Khan, Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran launch the trailer of ‘Major’ in an event filled with patriotism and adoration for Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan

Hyderabad (Telangana): The trailer launch event of the upcoming pan India film ‘Major’ took place on May 9, 2022, in Hyderabad. The event was graced by the three biggest superstars of India cinema, Salman Khan, Mahesh Babu and Prithviraj Sukumaran as they revealed the trailer in three different languages. Based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan who was martyred in the 9/11 attack, the film trailer was a rollercoaster of emotions that promises a story of a man beyond his martyrdom. The trailer offers insight into the varied phases of Sandeep Unnikrishnan's life, giving the audience a deeper insight into his inspirational journey's untold chapters. 

The major stars of Bollywood, Tollywood and Mollywood launched the trailers in their respective languages while praising the movie trailer. Mahesh Babu who has also produced the movie shared his journey as a producer of the film and why he chose to back this particular film. “The writers came to me with the script and explained to me why they chose to do this particular story and I was moved. This is when I decided that if I want to back a movie, it will be this one”, the megastar said.

Adivi Sesh, who portrays the titular character stated that they shot the film in two languages not to show off but as a tribute to Major Unnikrishnan. “We have shot the each and every shot, every scene in two different languages. It was not dubbed or there wasn’t any voiceover from a different language. We shot the movie frame to frame in Telugu as well as Hindi. This was as a tribute to Major Unnikrishnan. We wanted to portray his life with the utmost dedication and respect, which is why we chose to shoot the movie twice,” the actor revealed.

Ashish Tiwari, managing editor, Entertainment of First India, the Hindi media partners of the movie, asked the makers about choosing to wait for a theatrical release instead of opting for OTT which many huge filmmakers have done so far. Mahesh Babu answered the question stating, “We actually had terrific offers but none of us had the idea of going the OTT way because we thought that this film was meant for the big screen experience. Even Sesh was clear about that. Sony Pictures were also a big support for us and without their help, we wouldn’t have been able to wait for so long. They were very clear that they wanted a theatrical release as well. These past two years were tough but we are glad that we held on for so long and now we are all excited about the release.”

‘Major’ starring Adivi Sesh, Saiee Manjrekar, Shobhita Dhulipala, Prakash Raj, and Revathi among others is based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. The film was shot twice in two different languages and is slated to be released in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam on June 3, 2022.
