Hyderabad, May 30 (IANS): The first of a kind pre-release previews of 'Major' in different parts of the country, are creating a positive buzz about the Adivi Sesh-starrer which is set for theatrical release on June 3.

Adivi who landed in Vizag for the preview show on Sunday was thrilled when fans lined along the streets of the port city of Andhra Pradesh, to welcome the starcast.

The actor, accompanied by co-stars Saiee M. Manjrekar and Sobhita Dhulipala, travelled in an open jeep to the screening. All along the route, locals hooted, waved flags and shouted out the actor's name as the jeep drove through the city.

"I'm truly moved by the reception we received on the streets of Vizag. It was complete madness as fans were waving and hooting and it was a really incredible experience to witness this first hand. I'm humbled by the love we received from the locals," says Adivi.

A first of its kind promotional activity, the makers of ‘Major' organised this jeep and bike rally in Vizag to allow fans a closer interaction with the actor.
