In a heartfelt display of devotion, Telugu superstar Adivi Sesh and Bollywood actress Mrunal Thakur visited the iconic Tirupati Balaji Temple to seek divine blessings for their upcoming film ‘Dacoit: A Love Story’. The duo, set to share screen space in this highly anticipated action-romance, arrived amidst tight security and performed elaborate pooja rituals before the deity Lord Venkateswara.
The visit coincided with the launch of a special song from the movie, adding to the buzz surrounding the project. Speaking exclusively to media outside the temple, Adivi Sesh revealed the spontaneous yet profound nature of their pilgrimage. ‘We came here primarily to unveil a song from Dacoit, but once in Tirupati, it felt incomplete without darshan of Swami ji. The peace we feel now is indescribable,’ he shared, praising the temple authorities for their impeccable arrangements.
Mrunal Thakur, making her first visit to the sacred site, expressed overwhelming joy. ‘Praying for Dacoit’s success here has filled me with inner calm. I hope to return every year,’ she said, savoring the temple prasad. Directed by Shenil Dev, ‘Dacoit: A Love Story’ weaves a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and revenge. The story follows a young man who turns to vengeance after being deceived by his lover.
Anurag Kashyap plays a pivotal antagonistic role, elevating the film’s intrigue. With captivating trailers and foot-tapping songs already winning hearts, fans are counting down to the April 10 theatrical release. This blend of raw emotion and high-stakes drama positions ‘Dacoit’ as a potential box-office disruptor, blending South Indian fervor with Hindi cinema’s intensity.
As the actors left with renewed optimism, their faith-fueled visit underscores the film industry’s deep-rooted spiritual traditions, especially ahead of major releases. Will divine intervention propel ‘Dacoit’ to blockbuster status? Cinema lovers across India are eagerly watching.
