Anurag Kashyap on his role in Dacoit: ‘The conundrums of duty versus dharma…’

Anurag Kashyap, who has recently been part of various projects down south such as Maharaja, Rifle Club, Leo and Viduthalai Part 2, will portray Swamy, a fearless inspector who is a staunch Ayyappa devotee with no tolerance for corruption, in Dacoit.

“The conundrums of duty versus dharma, and to go about doing his job with a dry sense of humor is fantastic. I am truly looking forward to playing this character in two languages, shooting in Hindi, as well as in Telugu. To get the same impact in both the languages is the challenging part, something I am thoroughly enjoying,” Kashyap said in a statement.

Dacoit will be directed by first-time filmmaker Shaneil Deo, who has co-written the screenplay with Adivi Sesh. According to the makers, the film is the story of an angry convict seeking vengeance on his ex-girlfriend who betrayed him.

“He devises a dangerous plan to trap her, setting the stage for an intense action drama driven by elemental forces – love, betrayal, and revenge,” read the plotline.

Dacoit is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios.
