Actor Adivi Sesh has described his latest release, Dacoit, as his modern-day Romeo and Juliet, set in a world that feels very grounded.
Sesh shared that at the heart of Dacoit lies a story of two former lovers whose past continues to shape their present. The film explores how love, when left unresolved, can evolve into something far more complex, blurring the lines between longing, anger, and redemption.
Sesh said, "For me, Dacoit is not just about conflict or revenge. At its core, it's a love story. It's our modern-day Romeo and Juliet, but set in a world that feels very real and grounded."
Explaining what drew him to the narrative, Sesh said, "The idea of eternal love has always fascinated me. Not in a fairy-tale sense, but in how it stays with you, even when relationships change or break. In Dacoit, love doesn't disappear... it transforms. Sometimes into pain, sometimes into strength, and sometimes even into revenge." The actor added that Romeo and Juliet comparison is not about imitation, but interpretation. "We're taking essence of that kind of love - intense, complicated, and enduring - and placing it in a world that audiences can connect with today. It's raw, it's imperfect, and that's what makes it real."
