Dacoit is born out of Adivi Sesh’s long-standing desire to explore romance within an action framework. While Sesh and Mrunal Thakur play former lovers in this “angry love story”, Anurag Kashyap portrays a fearless cop. How did Sesh, the film’s actor and co-writer, convince Kashyap to come on board? Well, he did it in the most unexpected place — at Sobhita Dhulipala and Naga Chaitanya’s December 2024 wedding in Hyderabad.
