Dacoit teaser: The teaser for Shaneil Deo’s Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur-starrer Dacoit was released on Thursday. The film, which also stars Anurag Kashyap in a lead role in his Telugu debut, was released a day after Sesh’s birthday. The teaser hints at Sesh and Mrunal playing a desi Bonnie and Clyde and comes with a fun reference to Nagarjuna.
Dacoit teaser shows Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur in action mode
The teaser of Dacoit hints at a fractured love story between Sesh and Mrunal’s characters. It begins with Sesh discussing with a friend how Mrunal has agreed to go along with his plan. But once he propositions her, the teaser shifts to action mode with Mrunal taking the wheel, literally. The two play robbers on a heist.
A remixed version of Kanne Pettaro from Nagarjuna, Ramya Krishnan and Soundarya’s hit 1994 film Hello Brother plays in the background as bullets fly and chaos is unleashed. Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Atul Kulkarni, and Sunil also feature in it.
“Will be seated,” wrote one fan reacting to Dacoit’s teaser. Another wrote, “Waaah! Em teaser cut anna..Nee slang adhiripoindhi anna (What a teaser cut brother. Love your slang),” wrote another, referring to Sesh’s rustic slang. “Looks intense, need popcorn,” commented one excited fan, while another wrote, “Mrunal is back.”
