Actor Adivi Sesh took to social media to drop a warm and enthusiastic birthday message for filmmaker Shaneil Deo, the director of their upcoming film Dacoit: A Love Story. In his post, Sesh didn’t just offer birthday cheer—he gave fans a peek into the creative bond behind one of the most anticipated action-dramas of the year. “Bhai, I’m so proud to be working on #DACOIT with you, @Deonidas,” wrote Sesh. “You’re kind, patient, wise and most importantly, your vision is so so Fresh. Happy Birthday Bhai. The world will soon see the madness you have created in DACOIT” wrote the actor.
The tweet, equal parts appreciation and anticipation, highlights the growing chemistry between Sesh and Deo—a collaboration that appears to be rooted in mutual respect and creative alignment. The duo is working closely on Dacoit: A Love Story, an action-packed romantic thriller scheduled for a Christmas 2025 release. Notably, Sesh co-wrote the screenplay with Deo, making this project even more personal for both of them.
Dacoit tells the story of two estranged lovers drawn back together for a series of dangerous heists. It stars Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur, and Anurag Kashyap, with pivotal roles played by Prakash Raj, Sunil, and Atul Kulkarni. The film is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, aiming for a wide theatrical impact.
Sesh’s birthday shoutout to Deo not only humanizes the often behind-the-scenes director but also builds anticipation for what they’ve been cooking up together. If the tweet is any indicator, audiences are in for a bold, emotionally charged, and visually fresh experience.
