In an industry often focused on individual star power, Adivi Sesh is taking a different approach with his upcoming pan-India film, Dacoit: A Love Story. Describing it as a “two-hero film,” Sesh highlights the importance of collaboration and balance in storytelling. For him, the strength of a script lies not in whether it’s led by a male or female character, but in how well it serves the narrative. At its heart, Dacoit is a love story — and Sesh believes that love stories work best when they reflect equality, which is why he sees the film as a shared journey rather than a solo act.

Sesh, who also co-wrote the film, has never been one to chase conventional formulas and he always gives his projects a holistic approach rather than only looking at his own role in isolation. With Dacoit, he says, the story demanded equal emotional weight and intensity from both its leads. And in Mrunal Thakur, he found not just a co-star but a co-creator equally committed to elevating the narrative.
“From the beginning, Dacoit never felt like a film with one protagonist,” says Sesh. “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.”
Describing their dynamic, he adds, “There’s an honesty in the way she works — a rawness and truth that mirrors how I approach my own performances. We’re both outsiders in this industry, and that shared sense of having earned our place brings a kind of unspoken understanding between us.”
But more than just chemistry, it’s a shared fire for the craft that fuels their partnership.
“We’re both the kind of actors who will do whatever it takes for a film,” he says. “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.”
With Dacoit touted as one of the most anticipated releases of the year, Sesh’s belief in collaborative storytelling signals a refreshing shift. As he continues to challenge norms — both in the kinds of roles he picks and the stories he wants to tell — Dacoit: A Love Story stands as a testament to what happens when ego is replaced with intention, and heroism is redefined as shared purpose.
