In Indian cinema, the word “hero” often means one thing, the male lead takes center stage. But Adivi Sesh is changing that with his upcoming film Dacoit: A Love Story. Instead of calling it a hero-led film, Sesh calls it a “two-hero film.”
Why? Because it’s a love story. And in love, both people matter equally.
He says, “From the very beginning, Dacoit never felt like a film with just one lead. It is about two strong characters. Both are essential.”
Sesh stars opposite Mrunal Thakur in the bilingual film. He says her presence is not just supportive — it’s central. “There’s honesty in the way she acts,” Sesh explains. “She gives everything to the role. And that pushes me to do the same.” He adds, “We’re both outsiders in this industry. We’ve worked hard to get here. That creates a bond. An unspoken understanding.” This mutual respect drives the film’s emotional core.
Sesh co-wrote Dacoit. For him, the story matters more than personal screen time. “We are telling a story of love, betrayal, and revenge. That needs both of us, not just me,” he says. He believes powerful storytelling happens when ego doesn’t get in the way. Mrunal agrees. And together, they built something that feels equal.

This film is not about stealing the spotlight. It’s about sharing it. Sesh wants people to rethink what makes a “hero.” “Real heroism,” he says, “is about teamwork. Not dominance.”
Dacoit is a love story. But it is also a quiet revolution, one where emotional equality finally gets its due. And if Sesh is right, this might just be the film that changes how India defines a lead role.
