Acting is my first love: Sesh Adivi

Sesh Adivi, who started off his career as a director with ‘Karma’ (also the protagonist) says, acting is his primary passion “Acting will remain my first love.

I pursued a course in Direction to find how the camera captures performance of the actors and better understand the director’s vision. The knowledge helped me to improvise my acting,” he explains.

After impressive roles in supporting cast, Sesh will be seen as the protagonist in his forthcoming film ‘Kshanam’, a suspense drama. “I play an investment banker. The film set against the backdrop of Hyderabad, but it also moves to Vizag and San Francisco.

It's about a missing four-year-old girl, whom the protagonist never met, but out of humanity and goodness, takes it upon himself to trace her out. In the process, he gets emotionally attached to the girl," Sesh reveals.

It was while shooting for the climax of the film that Sesh experienced a sense of pride. “We were shooting for the climax scene where a group of policemen storm a house.

That episode gave me goose bumps because of the aura surrounding that scene. I was staring from a distance and said to myself, ‘I am part of something big'. That was a moment of pride," says Sesh, who has co-written the film along with his friend and director Ravikanth Perepu.

It’s been an eventful six years in showbiz for the actor and he had the opportunity to work with some of the big stars in the industry. “Pawan Kalyan is an introvert. He did not interact much during the 40 days I shot with him for ‘Panjaa’. He was constantly reading books.

Ravi Teja jokes a lot; he was full of energy on the sets of ‘Balupu’. I got the opportunity to work with Prabhas and Rana Daggubati during ‘Baahubali’. While the former is very gracious, and quick to praise the positives in someone, the latter is an absolute fun guy.”
