Adivi Sesh reveals the inspiration behind his character Hari
Speaking about the inspiration behind the character, Sesh shared, “I’m personally drawn to Hari because I wrote the character with my best friend, Shaneil Deo. He’s an amalgamation of different people I’ve met. He represents the many downtrodden individuals in society and what happens when their struggles turn into anger. At the same time, I wanted him to remain a pure soul, someone who wears his heart on his sleeve. The moment he feels something, you’ll see it on his face. Hari is an open book. But the intention was to make him an amazing book.”
