Coronavirus update: Adivi Sesh-starrer Major delayed again

Adivi Sesh’s Major (2022) has been delayed again due to uncertainties in the industry owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. The film, directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka, has been delayed indefinitely.

The producers put out a statement for the delay on social media: 'Given the current situation and restrictions in various parts of the country, the release of Major stands postponed. Major is a film made for India and we will release it only when the situation improves across the country.'

'Till then, please take care of yourselves and stay safe,' the statement added.

Last January, it was announced that the film would be released on 2 July 2021, but with the second wave of the pandemic and the film still in production, the date was pushed back. The film was wrapped up in November when the makers announced 11 February as the release date.

The biopic is inspired by the life of NSG commando Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who died fighting the terrorists who attacked Mumbai in November 2008.

Major has been shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. It also stars Sobhita Dhulipala, Saiee Manjrekar, Prakash Raj, Revathi and Murli Sharma.

The film is co-produced by Sony Pictures Films India, GMB Entertainment and A+S Movies.
