Shruti Haasan exits Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit: Reports

Reports suggest that Shruti Haasan exited from Adivi Sesh starrer Dacoit over creative differences with actor Adivi Sesh. According to reports, Adivi's involvement has overshadowed the director’s original vision. Dacoit marks the debut of director turned cinematographer Shaneil Deo, who cranked the camera for previous Adivi Sesh’s projects such as Kshanam (2016) and Goodachari (2018).

The makers of Dacoit unveiled the film’s teaser in December 2023, and since then, the film has caught the attention of audiences. The teaser gave a glimpse into a turbulent love story based in a heated political setup where Shruti Haasan and Adivi Sesh engage in a love-hate relationship. 

Shruti Haasan’s recent releases Salaar, Waltair Veerayya, and Veera Simha Reddy enjoyed success at the box office. Adivi Sesh’s last outing was the 2022 release, Major. Sesh and the director, Shaneil, are yet to comment on the issue.
