Around 50% of the shooting has already been completed and actor Saiee M Manjrekar will be joining the cast in Hyderabad next month.

Saiee M Manjrekar has been quite excited to play a key role in the film. Speaking about her character, she said that for her, what matters is the script and the impact that the character has in the overall narrative. According to the actor, once an artist dives deep in the dissection of a character, there are many beautiful emotions that they can explore. She instantly said yes to the role because she saw such a quality in the script of Major. She said that she has been quite excited about the project and is eagerly waiting to start work.

The director of the film Major, Sashi Kiran was also quite impressed with Saiee M Manjrekar’s work so far and hence, felt that she would fit perfectly in the role. The director also threw some light on the plot of the film and how they are planning to execute it with maximum authenticity. He said that the main information about the tragic attacks came from news channels and hence, none of them had first-hand information about the events that unfolded. He believes that bringing their imagination on the screen in the form of a feature film is challenging and pressurising to some extent.
