'Anger, revenge...': What drew Mrunal Thakur to 'Dacoit'
What's the story
The much-anticipated film Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, is set to hit theaters on April 10. The makers recently released the trailer for this action-packed drama that explores themes of love, betrayal, and revenge. During the launch event on Saturday, Thakur revealed why she said yes to the film.
Explanation
'This love story is made for me...'
Thakur said, "This love story is made for me. I have done simple love stories where there is love, dating, and everything." "But in this, you will get to see another side, Saraswati's side, where there is not just love." "There's a little bit of anger, revenge...love that is broken, has courage. So, not just Saraswati, but Hari (Sesh's character) as well."
Something different
Thakur says, 'I didn't want to be monotonous'
She added, "It's a different kind of love story." "I didn't want to be monotonous because people get bored with seeing the same thing." The actor explained, "Adding a little bit of action makes it fun, especially when someone who has never done action can drive an ambulance, pick up a gun, and kill. Then, why not?"
