I vividly remember that he was tagged and referred to as ‘The NRI’ Hero by filmmakers and general audience as well at that time. And no, I’m not citizen-shaming him in any manner whatsoever. It was curious to see what this NRI could do, as his promise of writing the story, and enacting it out showed immense potential. The effort as it seemed, was both strong willed and yet sympathetic in all aspects. It seemed that the quintessential NRI, was trying strongly to survive the Indian mythos in a western landscape. In a shot which comes during the climax (an ambitious in thought, restricted in budget, fare) Sesh depicts ‘Kalki’ true to the word, as he rides a white horse and wields a sword banishing evil of all forms. ‘Karma’ a well-made socio-fantasy, had Sesh playing Lord Vishnu’s modern age avatar ‘Kalki’, out to save the female lead who is symbolic of Durga.

The Tryst With A Talent – The Kalki Comes…Īdivi Sesh, as I remember him from his first movie, ‘Karma’ was this chic looking NRI guy, who literally played a God in his first film.

Perhaps it all takes a ‘Kshanam’ (second) to change everything. One could be tempted to say that his roles prior to this trium of movies, have been meagerly thought out in terms of commercial appeal and as critical appeasement. The trium of these movies, establish beyond discussion the acumen of Sesh in authoring comprehensively thawed roles for himself while at the same time ensuring a qualitative product to be build which centrifugally revolves around an exciting premise in itself. ‘Evaru’ marks Adivi Sesh’s third consecutive success at the box office, following his highly acclaimed ‘ Kshanam’ and his spy thriller ‘ Goodachari’. It is for all intents and purposes, about a creative force – Adivi Sesh – who is ushering the Telugu film industry, presently, into unexplored and yet highly satisfying grounds of creative satiation. Let me assure you that this testimony is not at all about a memory of good times, but of good and rewarding times right here, right now. Like the proverbial life time achievement award. When we say testimony, more often than not, it is assumed that we are referring to a career which is at a fading end. We waited till ‘Evaru’ became a certified industry hit, and then decided to write a testimony for Adivi Sesh, or Sesh as he is called by the poster of films he is associated with.
