Adivi Sesh has penned a heartwarming birthday note for his Dacoit co-star, Mrunal Thakur, who celebrates her birthday on August 1st. In a post shared on his social media, Adivi praised Mrunal's dedication, values, and professionalism, while also expressing his pride in collaborating with her on the upcoming film.
Adivi Sesh wrote, "Dear @mrunal0801 It's a rare and uplifting experience to encounter someone who is not only a talented actress but also a genuinely wonderful person. Your values, perspective on life, and above all, your professionalism truly illuminate our entire team. I am incredibly proud to collaborate with you on this project, Mrunal. I appreciate your creative input and your boundless enthusiasm in bringing JULIET to life in #DACOIT. Wishing you a very happy birthday and many joyful returns of the day". He also highlighted their partnership in Dacoit, which is scheduled for a Christmas release.
The Dacoit team also surprised Mrunal with an early birthday celebration on the sets of their film. Adivi shared a video clip of the celebration on his X timeline, captioning it, "Happy Birthday JULIET. Celebrating early on the sets of #DACOIT. @mrunal0801". The video showed Mrunal cutting a cake and sharing it with the crew, visibly touched by the gesture. She expressed her gratitude to the team, saying, "I didn't expect this at all. You guys made my day so special,".
Mrunal plays a character named Juliet in Dacoit. The film is described as "An explosion of guns and roses… betrayal and trust… and above all, Love and Loss. Witness a wicked FIRE between two EXES". A promotional clip released earlier hinted at a complex relationship between Adivi and Mrunal's characters, with Adivi's character, who appears to be a prisoner, telling Juliet, "I'm here to destroy you".
