Good Movies Matter More than Money - Adivi Sesh

Adivi Sesh, the rising Pan India star known for hits like 'Hit 2' and 'Major,' has spilled the beans on upcoming projects, including the eagerly awaited 'Goodhachari 2' (G2) and a high-octane action drama featuring Shruti Haasan. The actor who celebrates his birthday today shared insights into his journey and offered a tantalizing glimpse of the intense cinematic experiences awaiting audiences soon.

Q: How was 2023 for you, Adivi Sesh?

A: 2023 was spent in preparation. Along with 'Goodhachari 2,' Shruti Haasan and I have been working on our upcoming film, investing time in writing and preparation.

Q: It seems there was no film from you in 2023. Any specific reason?

A: It doesn't matter. Every actor has his own pace. It's essential to focus on quality rather than quantity. The two films coming next year will be back-to-back.

Q: How has your journey been so far?

A: Enjoying the journey is more important than measuring how far we've come. For a long time, I was in a rush. Now, I want to feel it, not put too much pressure on anything.

Q: How do you feel about the shift from budget constraints to an open market?

A: It's a pleasure, all possible due to the love shown by the audience. It's a delight to see our hard work being recognized.

Q: Are all your films going to be released in Hindi?

A: It depends on the subject. 'Goodhachari 2' is a massive film set in five countries, believed to appeal to the Hindi audience. The film with Shruti Haasan will be released separately in Hindi and Telugu.

Q: How was your experience with 'Major,' and are you still in touch with Sandeep Unni Krishnan's family?

A: In the journey for 'Major', his parents became a family to me. I went to Mumbai on 26/11 and spent the day with them.

Q: As a writer and actor, how do you manage the two roles?

A: Sometimes there's a dilemma, but it's essential not to let the writer's perspective interfere while acting. I prefer acting and writing; directing is not my forte.

Q: Can you share some insights into 'Goodhachari 2' and potential sequels?

A: 'Goodhachari 2' begins in snowy hills, and I had this in mind while planning the sequel. But the audience needs to demand a sequel for it to happen.

Q: You've been particular about the choice of movies. Is it true you recently rejected a big offer?

A: Good movies matter more than money. I focus on how the audience feels while watching the film. I've been doing selective films, successful or not.

Q: Can you tell us about your upcoming film with Shruti Haasan?

A: It's a very intense action love story, highly emotional and in a new genre.

Finally, Sesh revealed the decision to introduce Shaneel Deo as a director for their collaborative project, saying he was impressed by Deo's work on a short film that was selected for the Cannes Film Festival.
