Adivi Sesh Dacoit Begins Shoot in Telugu and Hindi

His upcoming action drama “Dacoit”, one of the most anticipated films in his career, is being shot simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, rather than being dubbed from one language to another. The film marks a significant milestone in how regional cinema is evolving towards inclusivity without losing its cultural identity.

Talking about his decision, Adivi Sesh shares, “For me, language is not just a medium, it’s emotion. When a story is translated or dubbed, something inevitably gets lost in the process. The essence, the rhythm, the emotional undercurrent, they don’t always carry over seamlessly. You cannot want to create something so big and then not truly connect with the audience across the country. That’s why Dacoit is being made originally in both Telugu and Hindi not dubbed, but lived and performed separately. Some emotions are truly universal, but the experience can be diluted if the authenticity isn’t one hundred percent. Hence, the straight language is always my preferred route.”

“Dacoit,” starring Adivi Sesh, promises to be a gripping cinematic experience that bridges the north-south divide in a way that feels natural, emotional, and genuine, a film made for everyone, yet true to its roots.
