The director collaborated with Adivi Sesh on the story and screenplay. Production is currently underway in Hyderabad, with plans for an extensive shooting schedule in Maharashtra.

As per ‘Variety’, breaking from tradition, Adivi Sesh chose to announce his leading lady on his birthday, rather than making it about himself.

Talking about the film, Adivi Sesh said, “‘Dacoit’ is a solid action film with a touching love story. Mrunal has brought some of the finest characters to life on the big screen, bringing a unique panache to each role. Her exceptional ability to elevate every character she portrays makes her truly remarkable. We are thrilled to welcome Mrunal to the ‘Dacoit’ team and eagerly await going head-to-head on the big screens”.

Mrunal Thakur said, “The story of ‘Dacoit’ is true in its essence, a great mixture of rustic storytelling that is elevated with the stylized vision of both Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo. The character I’m set to depict in the films will allow me to explore shades of playing an on-screen character that I haven’t explored before as an actor. This proposition mixed with the genre and script of ‘Dacoit’ is what will truly make it a treat to watch for the audiences. I can’t wait to deep dive into the world envisioned by Shaneil.”

Will Smith denies any links to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs

Los Angeles, Dec 14 (IANS) Oscar-winning Hollywood star Will Smith has denied any connection with Sean “Diddy” Combs and said that he “ain’t been nowhere near that man”

Smith, who released a new song called “Tantrum,” performed at the Observatory North Park theater in San Diego. A Videos shared on TikTok and obtained by TMZ shows Smith addressing the crowd between songs, speaking about memes linking him to Combs.

He said in the clip: “The world we’re in right now, it’s really hard for y’all to discern what’s real and what’s true, you know?. I’ve been seeing y’all’s memes and stuff … Some of that stuff’s funny. … I haven’t addressed any of this publicly, but I just wanna say this very clearly: I don’t have to do with Puffy, so y’all can stop all them memes. You can stop all of that bulls….”

“I ain’t been nowhere near that man, ain’t did none of that stupid,” Smith, who’s been previously photographed with Combs at industry events over the years, said from the stage.

“So whenever y’all hear it, if somebody say that, it’s a damn lie,” reports people.com.

Combs, 55, is in federal custody in New York City after his September indictment on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He is alleged to have used coercion to make women participate in so-called “freak-offs,” described by prosecutors as “elaborate and produced sex performances.”

Prosecutors also say authorities found “freak-off supplies,” including drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, when they raided Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami in March. Combs has denied committing any wrongdoing.

His attorneys previously said in a statement after the first wave of civil assault complaints that he “cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus,” but that he “emphatically” denied sexually abusing anyone. Combs will remain behind bars until his trial in May 2025.
