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.
