Reflecting on the break, Sesh said it was necessary both physically and mentally after months of gruelling schedules. “When you’re constantly in the middle of demanding shoots, you don’t always get the time to pause and take it all in,” he added.

He described the reaction to Dacoit as deeply rewarding and wanted to celebrate the film’s connection with audiences in both language markets alongside those closest to him. “For me, this trip is about switching off, reflecting, and recharging before I step into the next phase of work,” Sesh explained. “Post-production on G2 will be quite intensive, and I want to approach it with fresh perspective and renewed energy. Sometimes stepping back is as important as pushing forward.”

With G2 moving toward its next schedule and Dacoit continuing its successful run, Sesh’s short break serves as a moment of celebration and recalibration before he returns to work.

Directed by Shaneil Deo and produced by Supriya Yarlagadda under the banner of Annapurna Studios, it features multi-talented Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, Anurag Kashyap and Prakash Raj in pivotal roles. The film balances beautifully between its power-packed action moments with a uniquely woven emotional arc tracing the themes of love, betrayal, and the quest for redemption. Dacoit: Oka Prema Katha will be available to stream from May 8, exclusively on Prime Video in India and across more than 240 countries and territories worldwide, in Telugu, with dubs in Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

The film is being appreciated for its intense action-drama and the romance at its core. The standout ensemble cast, featuring Mrunal Thakur, Anurag Kashyap, Zayn Marie Khan, and others, has also left a strong impression with their performances.

Audience response to the fresh pairing of #AdiviSesh and #MrunalThakur has been particularly positive, with the music further adding to the film’s appeal.

With strong word of mouth, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is expected to witness growth over the weekend and emerge as a preferred theatrical pick for moviegoers.

Haridas aka Hari (#AdiviSesh) and Saraswati aka Juliet (#MrunalThakur) are madly in love with each other. Hari, being from a lower caste, and Saraswati, from a higher caste, create tension within the girl’s family. After one violent night, where Saraswati’s brother is killed, she blames Hari, and he is sentenced to life imprisonment. He seeks to escape jail to punish Saraswati for testifying against him. He breaks out to settle the score but gets entangled in an emotional web and ultimately decides to help Saraswati, who is struggling to arrange money for her husband’s hospitalization. What transpires thereafter forms the crux of the story.

The story concept is strong, but the lethargic and scattered screenplay fails to create the desired impact. Director Shaneil Deo’s direction picks up pace, especially in the second half. The cinematography is excellent, though the editing could have been tighter. The music is good.
Adivi Sesh displays a variety of emotions and impresses with his rugged avatar, carrying the film well on his shoulders. Mrunal Thakur once again proves what an excellent performer she is, excelling in all situations and emoting beautifully. Anurag Kashyap and Prakash Raj lend solid support.

Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is a modern-day Romeo and Juliet–style violent love story that could have been presented more effectively.

The #DacoitEkPremKatha campaign for Hindi Speaking Markets has been nothing short of a masterstroke. Right from their teaser, they captured attention with a two-city thematic teaser launch, generating excitement, especially with the clever and nostalgic use of ‘Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast’.

Adding a playful twist to promotions, their recent collaboration with Rakesh Bedi proved a clever move, using humor to announce the advance booking, further heightening fans eagerness to watch the film on the big screen.

The film features several gripping chase sequences that demand precision driving and perfect timing. Instead of relying heavily on body doubles, Sesh chose to perform many of these moments himself, bringing an added level of authenticity to the scenes. Several of these sequences involved drifting cars using professional stunt gear, a challenge the actor embraced with enthusiasm.

Talking about the experience, Adivi Sesh shared, “Dacoit has some extremely intense car chase sequences, and many of them were filmed with me actually driving the car. Drifting with professional gear is not something you get to do every day, and honestly, it gives you a massive adrenaline rush. When you’re inside the car, surrounded by cameras, stunt coordinators, and a very tightly planned setup, you realize how much precision is required to get it right. These are the kinds of action sequences where you can’t really afford too many retakes because every movement, every skid, every turn has been carefully designed.”

He further added, “For me, the excitement comes from pushing myself to perform the shot as perfectly as possible. I remember telling myself before some of these sequences that this has to happen in a single take. That focus actually heightens your senses, you become extremely aware of the speed, the timing, and the responsibility of delivering the moment exactly as envisioned. It’s thrilling but also deeply satisfying when you pull it off. Those are the moments that make action filmmaking so special.”

With its gritty narrative and large-scale action design, Dacoit is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious projects in Adivi Sesh’s career. The actor’s commitment to performing challenging sequences himself further reflects the level of detail and authenticity the team is aiming to bring to the screen.
