Adivi Sesh starrer to have Mrunal Thakur as female lead
Breaking the usual trend of birthday announcements, Adivi Sesh revealed his co-star, making the occasion even more memorable. The Dacoit team unveiled an intense poster showcasing the palpable chemistry between Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur’s characters. The film revolves around an angry convict seeking vengeance against his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him, devising a dangerous plan to trap her. It’s an intense action drama driven by powerful emotions—love, betrayal, and revenge.
Welcoming Mrunal Thakur to the world of Dacoit, Adivi Sesh shared, “Dacoit is a solid Action Film with a touching love story. Mrunal has brought some of the finest characters to life on the big screen, bringing a unique panache to each role. Her exceptional ability to elevate every character she portrays makes her truly remarkable. We are thrilled to welcome Mrunal to the Dacoit team and eagerly await going head-to-head on the big screens.”
Mrunal Thakur shares her excitement
Expressing her excitement, Mrunal Thakur said, “The story of Dacoit is true in its essence, a great mixture of rustic storytelling that is elevated with the stylised vision of both Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo. The character I’m set to depict in the film will allow me to explore shades of playing an on-screen character that I haven’t explored before as an actor. This proposition mixed with the genre and script of Dacoit is what will truly make it a treat to watch for the audiences. I can’t wait to deep dive into the world envisioned by Shaneil.”
