Happy birthday to our 'Swamy'! @annapurnastudios @mrunalthakur @shaneildeo @supriyayarlagadda original.'

On a related note, the forthcoming action drama 'Dacoit' features Anurag Kashyap in a key role. Apart from Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, the film also stars Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla, among others. Helmed by Shaneil Deo, the film has been jointly backed by Supriya Yarlagadda and Suniel Narang. Bankrolled by Annapurna Studios, 'Dacoit' tells the story of an enraged convict who sets out to seek revenge after being betrayed by his ex-girlfriend. The film is slated to hit theatres on December 25 this year.

Speaking about the film, Adivi Sesh had earlier stated, 'It's a story of two layered characters, both fighting their own battles, both central to the world we're building. I've always believed that stories thrive when ego takes a backseat ' and in Mrunal, I've found a co-actor who shares that belief.'

He added, 'That kind of commitment can't be faked ' it's felt. And that's why Dacoit feels like a two-hero film. We're not here to outshine each other; we're here to build something meaningful together. It's about mutual trust, and pushing each other to be better every day on set.'
