Tollywood actor Adivi Sesh, known for thrillers like Kshanam and Evaru, is currently busy with his upcoming films Dacoit and G2. Looking back on his career, Sesh recalled how his debut film Karma shaped his path. The film, entirely shot in the United States and released in 2010, was unique for featuring a rap song on Lord Vishnu. Apart from playing the lead role, Sesh also wrote and directed the project, marking it as the first Telugu film to be fully produced in America. He had earlier appeared in a brief role in Sontham.
Sesh revealed that his long-haired look in Karma impressed director Vishnuvardhan, who subsequently cast him as the antagonist in Pawan Kalyan’s Panjaa. The opportunity became a turning point in his career, earning him recognition and a strong foothold in the industry. He credits Panjaa with helping him gain visibility among audiences and filmmakers alike.
Reflecting on his journey, the actor also spoke about his friendships within the industry. “Mahesh Babu always conveys his wishes before every release, and I had the honor of working in Major, produced under his banner. Nani is like a brother to me. I also share close bonds with Vennela Kishore, Rahul Ravindran, and director Sujeeth,” Sesh noted.
