Adivi
Sesh
says
forthcoming
Telugu
drama
Kshanam,
which
releases
in
cinemas
on
Friday,
is
the
most
rewarding
and
stressful
project
of
his
career.
"Working
on
this
project
has
been
extremely
rewarding
and
equally
stressful.
Shot
on
a
tight
budget,
the
film's
story
shifts
between
Hyderabad,
Vizag
and
San
Francisco.
The
challenging
part
was
to
shoot
in
popular
places
and
yet
not
show
audiences
things
they've
already
seen," said
Sesh
.
"How
do
you
shoot
right
in
front
of
Golconda
Fort,
but
not
give
the
audience
a
glimpse
of
the
building?
How
do
you
shoot
in
San
Francisco
when
you're
working
on
a
tight
budget?
How
do
you
shoot
a
film
for
90
days
without
going
overboard
on
the
budget,"
he
asked.
Directed
by
debutant
Ravikanth
Perepu,
the
film
also
stars
Adah
Sharma,
Anasuya
Bharadwaj,
Satyam
Rajesh
and
Vennela
Kishore.
For
Sesh,
what
was
truly
rewarding
about
the
whole
experience
was
that
it
taught
him
to
be
really
honest
with
the
audience.
Besides
playing
the
lead,
Sesh
also
co-wrote
the
screenplay
with
the
director.
It
was
a
small
incident
that
inspired
him
to
turn
an
idea
into
the
film.
"One
day
I
was
driving
down
Jubilee
Hills
(in
Hyderabad)
when
a
4-year-old
girl
stopped
me,
asking
for
a
ride.
She
was
accompanied
by
five
more
kids
and
they
wanted
to
be
dropped
at
their
school.
I
picked
all
of
them
and
dropped
them,
but
it
got
me
thinking
what
if
they
were
taken
away
by
some
stranger.
Their
parents
wouldn't
have
known.
Just
the
thought
gave
me
the
creeps,
and
that
became
the
seed
of
our
story."
In
the
film,
Sesh
plays
an
investment
banker,
who
comes
to
India
from
San
Francisco
in
search
of
a
missing
girl,
who
happens
to
be
the
daughter
of
his
ex-girlfriend,
played
by
Adah.
The
film
is
produced
by
PVP
Cinema.
