Mrunal Thakur, Adivi Sesh, Anurag Kashyap and Zayn Marie Khan attended the trailer launch of the Hindi version of their film Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha in Mumbai. The event was entertaining as it began with Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur being brought to the trailer venue in a police jeep. They were even handcuffed, as per the film’s plot, and it made for a dramatic moment.
Anurag Kashyap was asked about it. He said, “Humne daikoton ko giraftar kiya unko stage pe laane ke liye! Yeh log stage pe nahin aa rahe the.” Adivi joked, “This wasn’t a plan of the promotions!”
Anurag raised laughs as he revealed, “I was also ‘arrested’ when I signed the film. I had gone to attend Sobhita Dhulipala’s wedding. I was doing her kanyadaan. As soon as the kanyadaan got done, they took me aside. Wahaan shaadi chal rahi hai, phere chal rahe hai aur mantra padhe ja rahe hai. Aur yahaan main script narration sunn raha hoon! They didn’t ask me whether I’d like to do the film. They simply informed me, ‘We are shooting from next month’ (laughs)!”
The host quipped that it was a “Shoot at sight” moment. Adivi praised the host for the pun. On a serious note, Anurag Kashyap explained why he agreed to do the film, “For the first time, someone saw me beyond being a crazy psychopath killer! The problem is that actors tend to get typecast. But that wasn’t the case with Dacoit. Here, I got to play a character.”
Much later, Adivi Sesh let out an interesting plot point, “We, as a team, never mentioned that Anurag sir is the villain in the film. So, it’ll be nice for you to get surprised with his role!” Another memorable moment was when the host introduced Mrunal Thakur and mentioned that she’s also doing Atlee’s next film, starring Allu Arjun. Mrunal immediately gestured non-verbally that she can’t speak about it.
Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha releases in cinemas on April 10.
