Annapurna Studios has announced its upcoming Indian action drama Dacoit, starring Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh in lead roles.
Directed by Shaneil Deo, this highly anticipated film promises to blend intense action with a powerful love story, exploring themes of betrayal, revenge, and redemption.
A New Chapter for Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur
In an exciting twist, Adivi Sesh chose to announce his leading lady on his birthday, rather than making the day about himself. The film features Thakur, known for her stellar performances in Sita Ramam, alongside Sesh, who has earned acclaim for his role in Major. The duo marks the first-time collaboration, and both are thrilled about the fresh pairing.
“Dacoit is a solid action film with a touching love story,” Sesh said in a statement. He praised Mrunal’s incredible ability to breathe life into her characters, adding, “Her exceptional talent to elevate every character makes her truly remarkable. We are thrilled to welcome Mrunal to the Dacoit team and eagerly await the chance to showcase our chemistry on the big screen.”
Mrunal Thakur expressed her excitement about the film, saying, “The story of Dacoit is a great mixture of rustic storytelling elevated with the stylized vision of Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo. This role will allow me to explore new shades I haven’t explored before, and I can’t wait to dive into the world envisioned by Shaneil.”
A Unique Action Drama
The film tells the story of an angry convict who seeks revenge against his former girlfriend, who betrayed him. It promises to be a gripping action-packed drama, with a deep emotional undercurrent. The movie is being shot simultaneously in both Hindi and Telugu languages, reflecting its pan-Indian appeal.
The team is currently filming in Hyderabad, with plans for a major shooting schedule in Maharashtra. Director Shaneil Deo, who also collaborated with Adivi Sesh on the story and screenplay, expressed his excitement about working with Thakur. He said, “Her versatility makes her the perfect fit for this action-packed drama. This is the first time Adivi Sesh and Mrunal are coming together for a film, and I am eager for audiences to witness their powerful chemistry.”
The Future of Dacoit
Producer Supriya Yarlagadda echoed the director’s sentiments, praising Thakur’s exceptional talent. She said, “Mrunal Thakur’s phenomenal performances make her the perfect choice for this role. We can’t wait to see the magic she brings to the film, alongside Adivi Sesh. Get ready to witness her in a never-seen-before avatar as she embraces this unusual love story.”
As Dacoit continues to generate excitement, fans can look forward to an intense and emotionally charged cinematic experience, with thrilling action, a unique love story, and strong performances from both leads.
