Speaking about her role, she said, "The character I'm set to depict in the films will allow me to explore shades of playing an on-screen character that I haven't explored before as an actor. This proposition mixed with the genre and script of ‘Dacoit' is what will truly make it a treat to watch for the audiences. I can't wait to deep dive into the world envisioned by Shaneil.”
Her Dacoit co-star Adivi Sesh added, "Dacoit is a solid action film with a touching love story. Mrunal has brought some of the finest characters to life on the big screen, bringing a unique panache to each role. Her exceptional ability to elevate every character she portrays makes her truly remarkable. We are thrilled to welcome Mrunal to the Dacoit team and eagerly await going head-to-head on the big screens."
Directed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit follows the journey of an angry convict, who meticulously plots revenge against his former girlfriend after being betrayed by her. The film is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. The shoot is currently underway in Hyderabad.
