INTERESTING BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Adivi Sesh is a multifaceted talent in the South Indian film industry, known for his work as an actor, screenwriter, model, and director. Born in Hyderabad, he spent a significant part of his childhood in Berkeley, California, where he was nurtured in a culturally rich environment that would later inform his artistic pursuits. His familial connections run deep, not only in his personal life but also in his professional endeavors, as he shares a close bond with his cousin, Sai Kiran Adivi, a notable director in the Telugu film landscape.
After completing his education, Adivi took a pragmatic step into the corporate world, working at Thousand Lights Inc. in California. However, his passion for the arts never waned. He reminisces about his first crush at the tender age of six, his English teacher affectionately named Mini, a poignant memory that showcases his early emotional depth. Alongside his artistic journey, he also ventured into the world of fashion, earning accolades in beauty pageants such as ‘Mr India San Francisco’ and ‘Mr India Waves,’ which added another dimension to his growing portfolio.
Adivi Sesh’s cinematic journey is highlighted by his participation in several prominent Telugu films, including the action-packed ‘Panjaa’ (2011), the romantic ‘Kiss’ (2013), the comedic ‘Inji Iduppazhagi’ (2015), and the critically acclaimed ‘Goodachari’ (2018).

In addition to acting, he has made significant contributions as a screenwriter, crafting scripts for successful films such as ‘Kiss,’ ‘Kshanam’ (2016), and ‘Major’ (2021). A defining moment in his writing journey came in 2010, after surviving a near-death experience in San Francisco, which inspired him to pen the script for ‘Karma.’ This project was groundbreaking, being the first Telugu film shot in the U.S. by an entirely American technical crew.
