Even as 'Major' races towards its theatrical release, the movie is winning hearts at the preview screening. The first screening of the film in Pune opened to a full house and ended with a stand ovation, waving of tricolours and many emotional touching moments as loud chants of 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' echoed across the room. A paramilitary official on a wheelchair was also present at the screening event, and was in for a surprise when Adivi Sesh himself knelt down to speak to him and thank him for his support.

The officer saluted him and was in tears with Adivi's gesture, while the rest recovered from the emotional experience that left them with goosebumps and tears. Taking to his Twitter, the actor dropped the video and wrote, "#Pune The #Major screening. To hear Jai Hind chants, cries, laughter and JOY. Heres a moment when I met Commando Shivraj,  a 21 Para SF veteran and his wife Lt Col Sivapriya :) No calculation. No plan. All honesty. #MajorOnJune3rd."
