Not
too
long
ago,
the
makers
of
Adivi
Sesh's
Major
announced
that
the
film's
release
has
been
postponed
owing
to
the
spike
in
COVID-19
cases
and
the
subsequent
lockdown
imposed
in
several
states.
Though
the
film
was
initially
scheduled
to
release
on
July
2,
the
unprecedented
condition
left
the
makers
with
no
other
option
than
to
postpone
the
film.
Well,
after
almost
two
weeks,
the
biographical
action
film
has
yet
again
made
headlines,
but
this
time
for
a
stupendous
reason.
If
the
latest
reports
are
to
be
believed,
one
of
the
popular
distribution
companies
Weekend
Cinema
has
acquired
overseas
rights
of
Major
jointly
with
Southern
Star
International.
Reportedly,
overseas
rights
of
the
film's
Hindi,
Telugu
and
Malayalam
versions
have
been
bought
by
the
two
companies
for
a
humongous
amount,
so
as
to
release
in
the
USA,
Canada,
Singapore,
Australia
and
New
Zealand.
It
is
said
that
the
huge
deal
was
locked
after
the
film's
teaser
release
that
grabbed
major
eyeballs.
For
the
unversed,
the
teaser
was
released
on
April
12
in
