Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur get injured on the sets of Dacoit: Report

In order to reach a wider range of linguistic audiences, Dacoit, which is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, is being produced concurrently in Telugu and Hindi.

Along with his co-star Mrunal Thakur, Tollywood actor Adivi Sesh, who is currently filming his next action drama Dacoit, suffered minor injuries on the set. This film being an action drama, there are multiple chances of the actors getting injured.

As per Telugu 360 reprts, the incident happened in Hyderabad while a fast-paced scene was being filmed. Both actors apparently continued filming in spite of the incident, exhibiting professionalism and dedication to the project.

Despite the fact that the injuries were minor, Adivi Sesh is anticipated to see a physician after the day's filming is over. Even though Mrunal Thakur was injured, he continued to work on the set to finish the parts that were scheduled. The fact that the accident occurred during a high-action scene illustrates how physically taxing the movie is.

Shruti Haasan was initially cast in the lead role of Dacoit, but she chose to leave the project for unknown reasons. She was replaced by Mrunal Thakur, who swiftly adjusted to the role and is renowned for her outstanding performances in South Indian and Bollywood films.

Renowned cinematographer Shaneil Deo, who has previously worked with Adivi Sesh, is directing the movie for the first time. Together, they co-wrote the screenplay for Dacoit, combining their artistic visions to create an exciting story.

In order to reach a wider range of linguistic audiences, Dacoit, which is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, is being produced concurrently in Telugu and Hindi. With a Christmas 2025 release date, the movie hopes to attract audiences during the holiday season.

Dacoit is positioned to be one of the year's most anticipated action dramas thanks to its intriguing title, strong star cast, and excellent production values. The intensity and commitment required to bring this story to life are only highlighted by the on-set injuries.
