What's the story

Actor-writer-director Adivi Sesh, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Dacoit, has described it as the most character-driven project of his career. He told IANS, "It's definitely my most vivid character." "I wouldn't say it's completely character-driven, like say an 'Arjun Reddy'. But, it's a lot more character-driven than my previous films."

Film details

'First time I'm in love with the emotions...'

Sesh explained, "I've always come off a filmography where I loved my twists. And there's always this first time I'm in love with the emotions of the film." He added, "So, who murdered whom is not a big question of this film. It's not who has done it." "It's about emotions and the journey between two ex-lovers after 13 years." "It's two people in the middle of a robbery setup, in the middle of guns, bullets, fire, rain, heat...desert."
