The character I'm set to portray will allow me to explore shades of an on-screen role that I haven't delved into before as an actor. This combination of genre and script is what makes Dacoit truly a treat for audiences. I can't wait to immerse myself in the world envisioned by Shaneil," she said.

The film, produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and co-produced by Suniel Narang, is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. Shaneil Deo is directing the project. (ANI)
