Aditya Hasan: Epic will win hearts just like 90s
The Telugu web series 90s - A Middle Class Biopic became a sensation after it started streaming on ETV Win in 2024. Everyone turned their attention to its director, creator and writer, Aditya Hasan, who also went on to produce Little Hearts, which also became a sensational hit.
Now, he is making his big screen directorial debut with Epic - First Semester, which stars Anand Deverakonda and Vaishnavi Chaitanya. Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya are producing the film under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Media. The film is all set to hit the screens on September 11.
Talking about his journey, Aditya Hasan said that he is a huge fan of Kamal Haasan, which is why he added ‘Hasan’ to his name. “I like him a lot, but I have never met him,” says Aditya, who took inspiration from his Mahaboobnagar origins, and his parents to mount 90s. “Whatever you see in the 90s web series, all the character names are real names that I used. The web series is based on real incidents that happened in my life and the lives of my parents,” says Aditya, adding, “I completed my graduation in Hyderabad and then went to the UK for my Master’s. There, I made a short film and met Naveen Medaram, who was my senior at the university.”
