On Rajesh Manne's podcast, Adivi Sesh was asked about Shruti Haasan's exit from Dacoit. To this, the actor replied that it didn't work out between the two and also she was busy with Rajinikanth starrer Coolie. So they "amicably" parted ways. He further defended Haasan's decision and said it is not easy to work with him as he takes a lot of time to make a film.

“It just didn’t work out. Also too many things like working styles. And also, she’s very busy with Coolie. So it was very amicable and friendly. It takes me a lot of time to make a film. So, not everyone will sync with that process. Really, that’s the reason why. There’s no big controversy behind it," said Sesh.

Opening up about casting Mrunal Thakur, Sesh said he watched her performance in Sita Ramam and approached her for the role. The actress immediately accepted the offer. He further revealed that the actress was happy when she was introduced first in the announcement video, adding to this, he said that Dacoit is a "two-hero film" and her character holds equal importance.
