Happy that “master craftsman” Anurag Kashyap is part of ‘Dacoit’ cast, actor Adivi Sesh recalls convincing him about the role at Naga Chaitanya-Sobhita Dhulipala’s nuptials

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.

“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.
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. “If we had got the right screens, we would have come on that date. But this way, both versions of the film get their due,” he stated.
