Previously, Adivi talked about pan-India films getting huge success nationwide, but still, he feels the word ‘pan-India’ is an insult. While speaking to Indian Express, Adivi said, “No. It is an all-Indian film. I believe the word pan-India has been somewhat abused. It sounded good in the beginning as it felt like we are catering to Indians across the country. But then it started sounding a bit like a euphemism for a dubbed film.”
“At the end of the day, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan was born in Kerala and grew up in Bangalore. He was a captain in Hyderabad cantonment and a training officer in Haryana. He also fought in Kargil. And he saved hundreds in Mumbai. If that’s not all Indian, then I don’t know what is”, the actor elaborated on his answer. Major features Saiee Manjrekar, Sobhita Dhulipala, Prakash Raj, Revathi, and Murali Sharma in pivotal roles.
