Adivi Sesh Reveals Struggles in Telugu Movie Business
Adivi Sesh, who grew up in San Francisco earlier than getting into the Telugu movie trade, has spoken candidly about his struggles and the idea of nepotism in India. In a current dialog, he described India as a ‘nepo nation’; highlighting the challenges he confronted as an outsider making an attempt to interrupt into the trade.
Adivi recalled his experiences auditioning for roles in Mumbai, the place his id and background had been always questioned. “So, after studying the strains within the audition, they requested, ‘The place are you from?’ After I mentioned San Francisco, they mentioned, ‘Sure, there’s an American accent in your Hindi.’ The following week, I went for an audition to the identical place, I informed them I am from Hyderabad. In order that they mentioned, ‘Oh ya, that is why there is a South Indian twang to your Hindi’ (laughs). So, I used to be too Indian for America, too American for India, too North Indian for South India, and too South Indian for North India,” he shared.
Regardless of these challenges, Adivi has earned respect and assist from influential figures within the trade, together with Mahesh Babu and Nani. “My luck is I earned respect of plenty of these movie households from the primary day itself. Plenty of them have supported me. Like Mahesh Babu produced Main. Dacoit is being produced by Annapurna Studios (owned by Nagarjuna and household). My pal and favorite actor Nani produced Hit: The Second Case. So, it is a matter of respect greater than something,” he added.
Adivi’s upcoming initiatives embrace Dacoit, a revenge motion thriller starring Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap, and G2, a Telugu drama with Emraan Hashmi and Wamiqa Gabbi, scheduled to launch on Might 1, 2026 as of now.
