The
makers
of
Adivi
Sesh
starring
bilingual
film
Major,
recently
cast
Saiee
M
Manjrekar
to
play
an
important
role
in
Sashi
Kiran
Tikka's
directorial
venture.
For
the
unversed,
Saiee
made
her
acting
debut
with
Salman
Khan-starrer
Dabangg
3.
Hence,
it
is
indeed
a
big
opportunity
for
the
newcomer
to
be
a
part
of
such
a
big
project.
Interestingly,
Saiee
Manjrekar
is
very
much
excited
to
join
the
shooting
of
Major.
While
sharing
her
excitement,
director
Mahesh
Manjrekar's
daughter
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
from
next
month
in
Hyderabad.
The
makers
have
already
shot
50
per
cent
of
the
film.
Speaking
about
Saiee
Manjrekar's
casting,
director
Sashi
Kiran
Tikka
said,
"Casting
right
is
the
base
for
good
direction.
When
we
watched
her
work,
we
felt
that
Saiee
Manjrekar
fit
the
bill
perfectly."
Talking
about
Major,
the
film
will
be
shot
in
Hindi
and
Telugu
simultaneously.
