Mrunal Thakur surprised with a pre-birthday celebration on the set of Adivi Sesh's 'Dacoit'
Mumbai: Actress Mrunal Thakur will be turning 33 years old on August 1. Before her birthday, the diva was surprised with a pre-birthday celebration on the set of her forthcoming romantic drama "Dacoit", co-starring Adivi Sesh. The makers, Annapurna Studios, took to their X handle and posted a video of the celebration. The clip opened with Mrunal entering the set, with everyone waiting for her with a big "Surprise". Later, an elated Mrunal cuts the cake and lovingly feeds it to the team, including her co-star Sesh. We could also see her dancing a little as everyone sang "Happy Birthday" for her. Sharing the video, the makers wrote, "A pre-birthday bash for the charming @mrunal0801 planned by team #Dacoit on the sets A super surprise for the birthday girl #DACOIT IN CINEMAS WORLDWIDE ON DECEMBER 25th #DacoitFromDec25th." Meanwhile, talking about his next, Sesh called "Dacoit" a two-hero film. 'From the beginning, Dacoit never felt like a film with one protagonist. It's a story of two layered characters, both fighting their own battles, both central to the world we're building. I've always believed that stories thrive when ego takes a backseat — and in Mrunal, I've found a co-actor who shares that belief.' Shedding light on his dynamic with co-star Mrunal, he went on to say, 'There's an honesty in the way she works — a rawness and truth that mirrors how I approach my own performances. We're both outsiders in this industry, and that shared sense of having earned our place brings a kind of unspoken understanding between us.' Sesh revealed that both he and Mrunal are the kind of actors who will do whatever it takes for a film. 'That kind of commitment can't be faked — it's felt. And that's why Dacoit feels like a two-hero film. We're not here to outshine each other; we're here to build something meaningful together. It's about mutual trust, and pushing each other to be better every day on set," he concluded.

Adivi Sesh Calls Mrunal Thakur The 'Second Hero' Of Dacoit: ‘We're Telling This Story Together'
Adivi Sesh praises Mrunal Thakur as an equal lead in Dacoit: A Love Story, calling it a two-hero film about shared strength, love, and honest performances. In a cinematic landscape often dominated by singular star power, actor Adivi Sesh is choosing to redefine what it means to be a 'hero." With his upcoming pan-India film Dacoit: A Love Story, Sesh asserts that the project is not a one-man show but a 'two-hero film" — a deliberate and thoughtful acknowledgment of his co-star Mrunal Thakur's equally powerful role. Sesh, who has also co-written the film, believes Dacoit thrives on balance — emotional, narrative, and performative. 'From the beginning, Dacoit never felt like a film with one protagonist," he says. 'It's a story of two layered characters, both fighting their own battles, both central to the world we're building." At its core, Dacoit is a love story — and for Sesh, that inherently makes it a tale of equals. 'Being a love story, it's a marriage of equals. The film cannot be one-sided. That's why I call it a two-hero film," he shares, emphasizing that storytelling should go beyond gendered definitions of lead roles. 'My perception of a script doesn't come from it being a male or female lead project. It's about what serves the larger narrative." Mrunal Thakur, who stars opposite Sesh, is not just a co-star but a creative partner in shaping the film's emotional core. 'There's an honesty in the way she works — a rawness and truth that mirrors how I approach my own performances," says Sesh. 'We're both outsiders in this industry, and that shared sense of having earned our place brings a kind of unspoken understanding between us." Their chemistry, however, is rooted not just in compatibility, but in commitment. 'We're both the kind of actors who will do whatever it takes for a film," he notes. 'That kind of commitment can't be faked — it's felt. And that's why Dacoit feels like a two-hero film. We're not here to outshine each other; we're here to build something meaningful together." As Dacoit: A Love Story builds buzz as one of the most anticipated releases of the year, Sesh's approach marks a refreshing departure from the conventional hero-centric narrative. His emphasis on collaboration over competition and purpose over ego signals a new wave of storytelling — one where heroism is not about dominance, but about partnership. In a world that often celebrates the lone savior, Dacoit stands tall as a story of shared strength, artistic integrity, and the kind of love that elevates both characters — and the actors playing them.
