Born in Hyderabad, Adivi was raised in Berkeley, California, US.
Talking about his childhood memory of Independence Day, the 38-year-old actor told Ians: “My childhood was filled with Independence Day celebrations in California.

Rishika Sharma’s Vijayanad can be called a docu-drama. Earlier we have seen Mani Ratnam helm a (rumoured) biopic of one of the most celebrated business tycoons of India – Dhirubhai Ambani. The film was Guru and featured Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Guru was a very interesting and entertaining biopic and was lapped up by cine-goers. Unlike Guru, Vijayanand is told in a very self-praising documentary manner.
Story
The film opens with Vijay Sankeshwar (Nihal Rajput), a 19-year-old man bringing with him a semi-automatic printing machine for their printing press against his father B G Sankeshwar’s (Ananth Nag) wishes. With the new machine their business flourishes as expected but Vijay begins to aim higher. He prepares himself for yet another business in goods transportation industry and goes ahead buying one truck. This time again against the wishes of his father.

Starring Adivi Sesh, Prakash Raj,Revathy, Sobhita Dhulipala, Saiee Manjrekar, Revathi, Murali Sharma and Anish Kuruvilla
Directed by Shashi Kiran Tikka
Major, if you will allow some silly wordplay, is a major achievement. It embraces the language of mainstream cinema without playing low-level gimmicky tricks. It wants to tell the true-life story of a trueblue hero .
