Actress Mrunal Thakur is set to make her action genre debut with the upcoming film Dacoit. The movie is an intense action drama where she stars opposite Adivi Sesh as the main lead. Directed by Shaneil Deo, it is being shot simultaneously in both Hindi and Telugu languages.
The story revolves around an angry convict who seeks revenge against his ex-girlfriend after being betrayed. The film promises to feature gripping action sequences and an intense narrative. This role marks a powerful shift for Mrunal as she takes on a strong and intense character.
Talking about the film, Mrunal said, "The story of Dacoit is true in it’s 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 films will allow me to explore shades of playing an on screen character that I haven’t explored before as an actor."
Shaneil Deo, known for his work with Adivi Sesh, is not only directing but also co-developing the story and screenplay. The shoot is currently underway in Hyderabad with further schedules planned in Maharashtra.
