Adivi Sesh, born Adivi Sesh Sunny Chandra, is an Indian film actor-director, known for his roles in Kshanam, Bahubali, Karma and Panjaa. He is the cousin of Tollywood director Sai Kiran Adivi.[1]
Career
He debuted as an actor, director and writer in the 2010 film Karma: Do You Believe? which also starred Jade Tailor and Sher Ali in the lead roles.[2] Sesh's portrayal of Dev, a person who can fore-see events mere seconds before they happen, was well appreciated. Rediff praised his performance stating "As far as acting goes, Sesh Adivi does a good job. With an 'angelic' face he is an apt choice to play enigmatic Dev. His scripting skills also deserve mention. He may have chosen an unconventional path and a novel theme but he has tried to infuse something new in Telugu cinema."[3]
In 2011, Sesh appeared in Vishnuvardhan's Panjaa which starred Pawan Kalyan, Sarah Jane Dias and Anjali Lavania in the lead. In this film, Sesh portrayed the role of Munna, an NRI who is a wealthy spoiled brat and a very dangerous person to those around him. This also marked his debut as a villain.[4] His performance was highly appreciated by critics. Rediff said of his performance, "Sesh Adivi is worth watching for his 'maniacal' performance which is just the opposite of what he did in Karma, his directorial and acting debut."[5] CineGoer.com also praised his performance, saying "Sesh's Karma changes for the good with this film and he is quite a revelation."[6] He has also appeared in S.S. Rajamouli's epic drama Baahubali.[7]
