Adivi Sesh takes a break after non-stop work: Been a really intense few months

Mumbai, May 25

Actor Adivi Sesh, who has had a gruelling year due to a demanding shooting schedule for "Dacoit - Ek Prem Katha" and "G2", has finally hit the pause button as he is all set to jet off for a holiday to the US.

Sesh said, "It's been a really intense few months with back-to-back shoots for Dacoit and G2, and I think this break was absolutely necessary not just physically, but mentally as well. When you're constantly in the middle of demanding schedules, you don't always get the time to pause and take it all in."

The actor said the response to "Dacoit" has been incredibly heartening, especially with the film connecting with audiences across both Hindi and Telugu markets.

"I wanted to take a moment to celebrate that with the people who matter the most to my family and close friends. And there's no better way to do that than spending some quality time together.

He said that for him, the trip is about "switching off, reflecting, and recharging before I step into the next phase of work."

"Post-production on G2 is going to be quite intensive, and I want to go into it with a fresh perspective and renewed energy. Sometimes, taking a step back is just as important as pushing forward. This break is my way of doing that just breathing, being present, and coming back stronger," he added.

Sesh, who was born in Hyderabad and was raised in California, stepped into the world of cinema in 2002 with a small role in "Sontham" starring Aryan Rajesh and Namitha and in 2010 as a lead actor and director with the romance Karma.

He gained recognition as an antagonist in Panjaa, Balupu, and Baahubali: The Beginning. Sesh then established himself as a leading man by writing and starring in successful action films such as Kshanam, Goodachari, Evaru, Major, HIT: The Second Case, and Dacoit: A Love Story.

Good for him. These Telugu-Tollywood crossover actors are literally shooting 20 hours a day sometimes. If he's feeling mentally drained, better pause than burn out. We want him fresh for G2, not broken. Sab theek hai.

Sesh is one of the few actors who actually writes his own scripts and delivers good content. Kshanam and Major were top notch. But honestly, 'Dacoit - Ek Prem Katha' could have been a bit tighter. Still, a break is well deserved. Wishing him a peaceful trip to the US! 🇺🇸

I find it interesting how he still connects so much with his Hyderabad roots despite growing up in California. That's real desi heart. Hope he takes time to reflect and come back with another gem like Goodachari. Chalo, enjoy the holiday bhai! 😊✌️

As an NRI who also grew up in the US, I really appreciate how Sesh bridges both worlds. His films have that global Indian feel. Hope he enjoys some quality time with family. The man has earned it after that non-stop grind. 🙌

Taking a break is important for mental health, but I hope he doesn't lose momentum. G2 has huge expectations after Goodachari. Still, better to recharge than to deliver a mediocre product. All the best, Sesh! You're setting a good example for stars who just keep going till they collapse. 🎬
