Shruti Haasan exits Dacoit: A Love Story due to alleged disputes, paving the way for Mrunal Thakur to step in as the new female lead opposite Adivi Sesh in this highly anticipated Telugu action-romance.
The much-awaited Telugu film Dacoit: A Love Story, starring Adivi Sesh, has grabbed headlines after actress Shruti Haasan officially quit the project. According to sources, the decision stemmed from creative disagreements and alleged attitude issues between Shruti and the production team. Although she had already begun filming a few sequences, her departure left fans and the crew surprised.
However, the makers wasted no time in replacing her, finalizing Mrunal Thakur as the new female lead. Mrunal, who gained massive acclaim for her performance in Sita Ramam, is set to appear in her fourth Telugu film following Hi Nanna and Family Star. She joined the shoot on December 12 and immediately participated in an intense night schedule.
To build excitement, the production team released a pre-reveal poster teasing the female lead, showing a gun-wielding woman alongside Adivi Sesh. Fans have since been eagerly speculating about her role. The official announcement of Mrunal’s casting will be made on December 17, which coincides with Adivi Sesh’s birthday, adding an extra layer of anticipation to the film’s promotion.
Directed by Shaneil Deo and produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, Dacoit: A Love Story promises an intriguing mix of action, romance, and drama, set against the backdrop of a gripping narrative. With Mrunal’s rising popularity in the Telugu film industry, her pairing with Adivi Sesh has already sparked excitement among fans.
Unfortunately for Shruti Haasan, the exit from Dacoit comes at a challenging time in her career. With a relatively limited lineup of major projects, the film was seen as one of her promising ventures. Losing out on such a significant project could impact her career trajectory, especially with new talents like Mrunal Thakur taking center stage.
While Shruti’s departure marks a loss for her fans, Mrunal’s addition brings fresh excitement to Dacoit. The project now carries heightened expectations with the dynamic duo of Mrunal and Adivi Sesh. As the official reveal approaches, audiences are eager to see how this casting change shapes the film's narrative and success.
