Sesh said, “People are now focusing only on the business angle of cinema, but that man reminded me of the human side. The media reminded me of the credibility I earned through hard work. More than the name tag, I aim to build goodwill. My director refused to use a green mat. We took real risks for Dacoit.”

The actor added, “We worked hard to make the action sequences look realistic. There is a lot of grittiness in the film. We gave our all to deliver a great experience to the audience, and also shot the film in two languages. Over the last three years, I worked on Dacoit and Goodachari 2.”

“I am satisfied with Dacoit as it is both a hit and a good film. When I saw that lawyer last night, I felt truly happy. Today, audiences care only about content, regardless of the cast. I’m grateful for the support from the industry and media. I was shocked when Ram Charan garu tweeted about the film,” he concluded.
