Saiee M Manjrekar made her Bollywood debut last year with the film Dabangg 3. She received decent reviews for her performance in it and now, the actress has been roped in to play a pivotal role in the bilingual film Major.

The movie, which is being shot in Hindi and Telugu, also stars Adivi Sesh and Sobhita Dhulipala. It is inspired by the life of NSG commando Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who was martyred in the Mumbai terrorist attacks in 2008.

Saiee took to Instagram to inform everyone about the movie. She posted, “Verified Honoured, humbled and excited to be a part of the braveheart, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s biopic. It’s a film based on the NSG Commando, who fought with utmost bravery in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. Can’t wait to join the cast and start shooting next month! #MajorTheFilm @adivisesh @sobhitad @sonypicsprodns @gmbents @urstrulyMahesh @aplussmovies @sashikirantikka.”

Well, talking about the film, Saiee said, “For me, what matters is the script and the impact the character has in the overall narrative. Once you deep dive in the dissection of the character, there are so many beautiful emotions that as an actress I can explore. This is what I saw in the script of Major which is why when it was offered to me, I instantly said a ‘yes’ to it. I am open to working even down South and this one is a bilingual shot simultaneously in two languages. I can’t wait to start shooting for the film."

The actress will start shooting for the film next month in Hyderabad. Major will release in Summer 2021.

Jeethu Joseph confirms 'Drishyam 3' story will focus on Georgekutty’s family and psychological fallout

Highlights:

  • Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, is set to begin shooting in September 2025.
  • The third part will focus more on Georgekutty’s family dynamics, rather than an external investigation.
  • Jeethu Joseph completed the first draft of the script after a mentally and physically draining process.
  • Both Malayalam and Hindi versions of the film will release simultaneously, a first for the franchise.

Drishyam 3 is officially in motion, and filmmaker Jeethu Joseph has teased just enough to heighten anticipation for what’s coming next in Georgekutty’s story. At a recent college event in Muvattupuzha, Joseph revealed that this chapter won’t be about outside threats or police investigations; instead, it will turn inward. The narrative will focus squarely on Georgekutty’s family, exploring how they’ve been psychologically shaped by their past.

“Drishyam 3 is about how people within the family perceive past events differently as they grow,” Joseph shared, hinting that this time, the emotional tension will stem more from within the home than from authorities.
