Adivi Sesh: There was a time when I felt stories I wanted to see didn't exist in scripts coming my way

Telugu star Adivi Sesh reveals why he started writing his own scripts like Major and Goodachari when he couldn't find the stories he wanted to act in.

"I wanted to tell stories that excited me, moved me, challenged me - Adivi Sesh"

Mumbai, July 25

Actor-writer Adivi Sesh has talked about what led him to start writing his own stories. He shared that there was a time when he felt stories that he wanted to see or do didn’t exist in the scripts that were coming his way.

Having written and acted in acclaimed films like Karma, Kiss, Kshanam, Goodachari in Telugu cinema and Major, Goodachari 2, and Dacoit: A Love Story.

Speaking about this turning point in his career, Adivi Sesh shared, “There was a time when I felt the stories I wanted to see, the characters I wanted to play, and the narratives I wanted to bring to life simply didn’t exist in the scripts coming my way.

So, he decided not to wait for permission.

“And took it upon myself to create them. I wanted to tell stories that excited me, moved me, challenged me, and represented a perspective I hadn’t seen enough on screen.”

He said: “That’s how Karma happened, and then, Kshanam, Goodachari, and later Major. Each of these films was a risk, but they were stories I believed needed to be told."

Sesh said that writing is a deeply personal process for him.

“It allows me to explore characters and stories that I connect with as an artist and as a person. When I write, I write with the intent to engage the audience while staying true to the emotion and honesty of the story.”

He believes that if a story moves him, it will move someone else out there too.

The actor said: “Today, as I continue this journey with films like Goodachari 2 and Dacoit: A Love Story, I feel grateful that what started as a need to tell my own stories has now become a part of my identity in cinema.”

Sesh added: “I hope to continue creating stories that challenge, entertain, and leave an impact, while staying true to the reason I began writing in the first place—to tell stories I wanted to see on screen.”

As a Telugu cinema lover, I've noticed how Sesh brings fresh perspective to Tollywood. But I wish he'd collaborate more with established writers too - sometimes outsider perspectives can enhance his already great ideas.

Major was a masterpiece! 🇮🇳 It's rare to see such respectful and authentic portrayal of army life in Indian cinema. Sesh's dedication shows in every frame. Waiting eagerly for Goodachari 2!

This is why we need more actor-writers in our industry. They understand both sides of filmmaking. But I hope he doesn't burn out - writing and acting is double the pressure. Take care Sesh garu!

His journey reminds me of Anurag Kashyap in Hindi cinema. Both proved that unconventional stories can work if told with conviction. Hope more regional filmmakers get this courage to experiment!

As someone new to Telugu cinema, I watched Major on Netflix and was blown away! The emotional depth and technical brilliance was Hollywood level. More Indian actors should take creative control like Sesh.
