Mrunal Thakur replaces Shruti Haasan in ‘Dacoit’

Mrunal Thakur and Shruti Haasan

That Shruti Haasan left the project of “Dacoit” after working for a few days is known to our readers. We broke the news of her exit from this film. Later, Shruti Haasan also confirmed the same in several interviews.

Now, the “Dacoit” team has posted a poster announcing that they will reveal the name of the female lead tomorrow (December 17), on the eve of Adivi Sesh’s birthday. The pre-tease poster depicts a woman wielding a gun and directing it towards the camera, with Sesh holding her toward him. The girl’s eyes clearly revealed who she was. Fans quickly concluded that the girl was Mrunal Thakur.

Disagreements with the “Dacoit” team led to Shruti Haasan’s exit from the film.

The filmmakers explored a number of potential heroines before settling on Nalini Thakur. This is her fourth Telugu film, following “Sita RamRamam,” “NanNanna,” and “Family Star.” Of course, she also made a cameo appearance in Prabhas’s “Kalki 2898 AD.”

Cinematographer Shaneil Deo is directing “Dacoit,” while Supriya Yarlagadda is producing.
