Dacoit: Shruti Haasan Out, Mrunal Thakur Steps In

Dacoit: Shruti Haasan Walks Out, Mrunal Thakur Joins Adivi Sesh

In a surprising development, Shruti Haasan has exited Dacoit, the upcoming film starring Adivi Sesh. While the exact reason remains unclear, speculation points to either creative differences or scheduling conflicts.

The news about Shruti’s departure broke earlier, but the makers have now officially teased the new leading lady. A fresh poster, released today, shows Adivi Sesh covering her co-star’s face with his arm while she holds a gun. Although the official reveal will happen tomorrow, it’s clear that Mrunal Thakur has replaced Shruti Haasan in Dacoit.

Why Did Shruti Haasan Exit Dacoit?

The most likely reason for Shruti Haasan’s exit appears to be a scheduling conflict. Shruti is already juggling multiple projects, including Coolie, Salaar 2: Shouryanga Parvam, and Chennai Story. With several other films reportedly in the discussion stage, managing her packed schedule may have been challenging.

However, rumors suggest a possible disagreement on creative control. Some reports claim Shruti wanted the director to have the final say, while Adivi Sesh allegedly took a stronger role in making key decisions.

Mrunal Thakur Joins the Cast

With Shruti Haasan stepping aside, Mrunal Thakur has now joined the project. Known for her impactful performances in Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna, Mrunal brings her charm and talent to Dacoit. Fans are excited to see her share screen space with Adivi Sesh in this action-packed venture.
