Ahead
of

Filmibeat
Managing
Editor
Shweta
Parande
caught
up
with
Adivi
Sesh
for
an
exclusive
interview
where
he
opened
up
about
stepping
into
the
shoes
of
the
NSG
commando.
Sharing
that
it
was
tough
to
convince
Major
Sandeep
Unnikrishnan's
parents
at
the
beginning
for
the
biopic,
Adivi
Sesh
said,
"It
was
extraordinarily
tough.
It
was
such
an
immense
task.
The
audience
has
their
own
perception
of
him.
Saath
hee
saath
ek
Army
officer,
that
bracket
itself,
uske
baare
mein
ek
perception
hota
hai
audience
mein
(The
audience
has
a
perception
of
its
own,
especially
when
it
comes
to
an
Army
officer)
and
to
try
and
actually
do
both
of
these
things
is
a
very
immense
task.
We
worked
really
hard
at
it
last
two
years
and
to
finally
be
able
to
finish
this
film
with
his
parents'
blessings,
it
means
a
lot."
Elaborating
about
his
closeness
to
Sandeep's
parents
K
Unnikrishnan
and
Dhanalakshmi
Unnikrishnan,
Sesh
stressed
that
he
can
never
replace
their
son
and
the
best
thing
he
can
do
is
to
be
one
more
son
to
them.
He
said,
"I
am
not
and
I
can't
ever
be
Major
Sandeep.
The
best
thing
I
can
do
is
to
be
one
more
son
to
them.
The
best
thing
I
can
do
is
honour
his
memory.
I
shouldn't
try
to
take
his
place.
Those
are
two
very
different
things.
For
the
third
party,
who
have
just
gotten
to
know
about
the
film,
it
is
easy
to
confuse
the
two."
