Sharing the character post, Sesh wrote, "Deeksha lo unna Police Nannu pattukuntadu ata... Nannu pattukovalante aa Devude Digi ravali emo." This translates to, "The police who is on Deeksha says he will catch me... God himself would need to come down to catch me."In addition, Sesh is working on

Dacoit: A Love Story, directed by Shaniel Deo. The film was initially set to star Coolie actress Shruti Haasan as the female lead. However, she walked out of the project. Explaining the situation, Sesh said, “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.”
