Major is based on the life and times of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan. The film aims to tell the tale of a hero, who lost his life fighting terrorists during the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Originally, Major was supposed to release on July 2 last year. But, the second wave of Covid-19 forced the makers to postpone the film. Amid the third wave of infections in the country, many big-budget Telugu movies had to be postponed again. The movie is now set to open in cinemas on May 27.
The film also stars Saiee M Manjrekar, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prakash Raj, Revathi, and Murali Sharma.
Major has been shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi. It will also be dubbed in other south Indian languages. Sony Pictures Films India, GMB Entertainment, and A+S Movies have jointly bankrolled the film.
