Love, but not the kind that comes easy, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha dives into a world where romance unfolds amidst crime and rebellion. Fans are eagerly waiting to see Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh come together on the big screen.

Now adding more firepower to this gritty world, the makers have revealed the first look of actress Zayn Marie Khan from the film on the occasion of her birthday. She steps in as a fearless cop, pointing a gun at her enemies. She has a bindi and a gash on her forehead, while her gaze remains focused and determined. Her bold, fierce avatar hints at a high-stakes chase packed with intense action and dramatic face-offs. Several other cops are visible in the background.

How Adivi Sesh pitched Dacoit to Anurag Kashyap

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

"I pitched the film to him at the wedding itself," laughed Sesh. According to him, the filmmaker-turned-actor was also the go-to person when it came to fine-tuning the Hindi filmy dialogues. "We'd go to him to check how something should be said. It was like having a master craftsman on set," he added.

With action, drama and face-offs brewing, the film is shaping up to be a tense, adrenaline-packed ride. The story combines elements of crime, action, and romance. The film marks a shift for Sesh toward a more commercial format compared to his earlier investigative thrillers.

Initially eyeing an Ugadi release, Dacoit - which is shot in Hindi and Telugu - is now slated to hit theatres on April 10. The actor explained that the decision stemmed from limited showcasing in Hindi due to the dominance of Dhurandhar: The Revenge at the box office

Marking Shaneil Deo's directorial debut, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios.
