  • Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh prayed at Tirumala Temple for Dacoit
  • First song Rubaroo released, showing film's emotional core
  • Dacoit to release in April, starring Anurag Kashyap as villain

Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh visited the famous Tirumala Venkateswara Temple to begin their spiritual journey before they started working on their action drama Dacoit.

The duo went to the temple in traditional clothes to pray and ask for God's blessings before the release of the film. The crew went to the visit to say thank you and express their faith before they started the hard part of promotions.

Adivi Sesh said that making movies is "a leap of faith" because the public gets to decide what happens after years of work. He also said that starting the campaign in Tirupati let him feel grounded and important before he got into what he called the "whirlwind" of publicity activities. Sesh had also gone to the Bhadrakali Temple before the movie came out.

The producers of the film have just released the first song, "Rubaroo," which is a love song about Sesh and Mrunal. The number shows how vulnerable and quietly intense the main protagonists are with each other, which is the emotional heart of the story.

Sesh said that the song was the "emotional heartbeat" of the movie and that it was time to start promoting it with it.

Shaneil Deo was in charge of Dacoit, which featured Anurag Kashyap as the main bad guy. Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla are also in the movie.

The movie is about a prisoner who is unhappy and wants to get back at his ex-girlfriend because he thinks she lied to him. As he creates a fatal trap, the story becomes a sad tale of love, lies, and retribution.

The story and script for Dacoit were written by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo. The movie was shot in both Hindi and Telugu. The movie is still being worked on, but it will be in theaters all around India in April.
