Dacoit: Shruti Haasan Out, Mrunal Thakur In

Either the creative differences or the clash in shooting schedules are the reasons for the actors and technicians to walk out of a film often. It was reported earlier that actress Shruti Haasan walked out of Adivi Sesh’s Dacoit for reasons unknown.

In the latest update, the makers released a new poster hinting at a change in the cast while they will be revealing the face of the new heroine tomorrow. However, it is evident that it is actress Mrunal Thakur who replaced Shruti Haasan for Dacoit.

The new poster has Adivi Sesh covering her face with his arm while she aims the gun. The reason for the exit of Shruti Haasan is said to be a scheduling conflict, but rumors have it that Shruti Haasan wanted the director to call the shots while the lead hero Sesh reportedly is the one doing that.

Well, it could also have been her busy schedule that made her opt out of Dacoit, because she has Coolie, Salaar 2 Shouryanga Parvam, and Chennai Story in the making and a few other projects in the discussion stage.

Dacoit was directed by cinematographer-turned-director Shaneil Deo and produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and Suniel Narang. The teaser was released in December last year. It has been months since the movie started shooting and now it might pick up some pace.
