Adivi Sesh Breaks Silence On Shruti Haasan Exit From Dacoit: ‘Just Didn't Work Out'
Last Updated: The Goodachari actor made it clear that there was no fallout or controversy between the two. Instead, he explained that the decision was amicable. Adivi Sesh has finally put an end to rumours surrounding Shruti Haasan's unexpected exit from his upcoming film Daciot. During a recent podcast appearance, the Goodachari actor addressed it, making it clear that there was no fallout or controversy between the two. Instead, he explained that the decision was amicable. Talking at Rajesh Manne's podcast, Adivi Sesh spoke about Shruti Haasan walking out of the film. He revealed there was no controversy and it was done amicably. The actor said, 'It just didn't work out. Also too many things like working styles. And also, she's very busy with Coolie. So it was very amicable and friendly. It takes me a lot of time to make a film. So, not everyone will sync with that process. Really, that's the reason why. There's no big controversy behind it." He also praised Mrunal Thakur who replaced Shruti as lead actress in the film. Set to release in December 2025, Dacoit features Mrunal Thakur opposite Sesh and is being shot in both Hindi and Telugu, marking yet another stride in pan-Indian storytelling. The film explores the relationship between love and rebellion, vulnerability and rage, all set against a dynamic action-driven backdrop. Speaking about the genre shift, Sesh shared, 'This is the first time I'm truly diving into a love story as a genre — and that in itself makes Dacoit very special to me. Even though my character is raw and filled with rage, the story at its core is about love — the kind that transforms you, redeems you, even breaks you. That emotional conflict set against a canvas of action and thrill gives the film a unique energy." The film is helmed by Shaneil Deo and produced by Supriya Yarlagadda under the Annapurna Studios banner. Sesh, who also serves as a writer on the project, is clearly steering Dacoit with personal conviction. This creative collaboration brings together emotion, scale, and spectacle in equal measure. For an actor celebrated for redefining modern Telugu cinema with his sharp storytelling instincts, Dacoit represents not just a new film, but a turning point—where love, for once, becomes the battleground. Apart from this, Mrunal will be next seen in Son of Sardaar 2 with Ajay Devgn. The film teaser has already released. Today, the title track was released. First Published: July 01, 2025, 18:32 IST

Adivi Sesh Slams Animal Cruelty, Writes A Letter To Authorities: 'It Breaks My Heart...'
Last Updated: Adivi Sesh's plea is part of a growing movement led by PETA India, demanding the immediate shutdown of animal testing and breeding operations at Palamur Biosciences. Actor Adivi Sesh has taken a powerful stand against animal cruelty. In a heartfelt appeal, the award-winning actor has written to the Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA) urging urgent action against the abuse and exploitation of animals at an animal testing and breeding facility currently under fire for egregious ethical violations. This action comes in response to a recent PETA India exposé, based on whistleblower information, that unearthed horrifying conditions at the facility — including bloodied and distressed beagles, monkeys killed during experiments, and minipigs poisoned. The revelations have sent shockwaves across the country, sparking outrage from animal lovers and rights activists. Quoting his letter to the CCSEA, Adivi Sesh stated, 'I earnestly urge the Committee for Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals (CCSEA) to stop Palamur Biosciences from using or breeding animals and to take steps to ensure the surviving animals are sent to loving homes and reputed sanctuaries. The world is moving away from the use of animals in experiments and toward modern non-animal means, and so must we." The actor expressed, 'It breaks my heart to know that animals—gentle, trusting beings like beagles and piglets—are being tortured in the name of science. No living creature deserves to bleed, suffer, or die in a lab. India must lead with compassion and conscience, and shut down cruel practices like those at Palamur. These animals deserve love, not laboratories." The actor's plea is part of a growing movement led by PETA India, demanding the immediate shutdown of animal testing and breeding operations at Palamur Biosciences. The appeal includes a call for the prosecution of perpetrators, rehabilitation of surviving animals, and a shift towards modern, cruelty-free research methods. Adivi Sesh began his journey in cinema with Karma in 2010, a film he not only starred in but also directed. He initially made waves with his compelling negative roles in films like Panjaa (2011), Balupu (2013), and the blockbuster Baahubali: The Beginning (2015). Over time, he transitioned into a bankable leading man, delivering a string of successful films such as Dongaata (2015), Kshanam (2016), Ami Thumi (2017), Goodachari (2018), Evaru (2019), Major (2022), and HIT: The Second Case (2022), earning both commercial acclaim and critical praise. He will soon be seen in Dacoit alongside Mrunal Thakur. First Published:
