Adivi Sesh, Shruti Haasan's next titled 'Dacoit'

Adivi Sesh and Shruti Haasan on Wednesday finally revealed that their upcoming action drama is titled Dacoit.

The duo announced the title with an intriguing video.


The clip features Adivi and Shruti all guns blazing, as they battle their way through for a high-octane face-off that sets the tone of the movie and introduces the audience to the gritty and intense world of Dacoit.

As per a statement, Dacoit is billed as a gripping story of two former lovers, who must unite to commit a series of robberies to change their lives. It marks the feature directorial debut of Shaneil Deo.

Excited about the project, Adivi in a statement said, "Shaneil Deo has an absolutely fantastic vision. It's grand without being grandiose and elegant without being uppity. That sort of elegant eye coupled with a very rustic nature of the script and the characters set in the hinterlands of silent India, its villages, and towns make for an explosive, angry combustion that is this film. I think Dacoit is going to explode in people's hearts."

Shruti also expressed her excitement.

"The story is filled with anger passion and elegance. I'm truly excited to be a part of Dacoit," she said.

The film will go on floors soon.

Celebrating women in STEM: Breaking barriers and inspiring the future

International Women’s Day 2025 shines a spotlight on women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). It’s a day to honour their achievements, recognise the challenges they continue to face, and celebrate the bright future they are helping to shape. Throughout history, women have made invaluable contributions to scientific and technological progress, often in the face of significant obstacles. Yet, their work has been essential in shaping the modern world, and their legacy continues to inspire the next generation of female innovators.

A long history of overcoming barriers

Historically, women in STEM fields have faced discrimination, gender bias, and limited access to education. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, societal norms often confined women to roles as caregivers and homemakers, discouraging them from pursuing careers in areas like science and engineering. Despite these obstacles, pioneering women like Ada Lovelace, widely regarded as the first computer programmer, and Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, broke through these barriers. Their work laid the foundation for the inclusion of women in STEM fields today.

Will Pierce Brosnan return as James Bond? The actor finally responds

Pierce Brosnan has shared his thoughts on potentially returning as James Bond, saying he would be "interested" if the opportunity came up. However, the 71-year-old actor, who played 007 in four films between 1995 and 2002, also hinted that it might be time for someone else to take on the role.

Hollywood was shaken earlier this year when Amazon took control of the James Bond franchise through a deal with long-time producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. While the producers remain involved, Amazon now has the final say in the creative direction of the series. Since Daniel Craig’s final Bond film, No Time to Die, speculation has been going on about who will be the next 007. Although names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Idris Elba, and Tom Hardy have been heard, no official announcement has been made.

One of Europe's largest venomous spiders spotted in UK

In a surprising discovery, one of Europe’s largest venomous spiders, Macrothele calpeiana, has been found in the UK. The spider, which is native to southern Spain, was spotted in a West Sussex nursery after being transported to the country in a shipment of olive trees. Known for its striking size and long legs, this funnel-web spider is a rare sight in the UK, prompting both intrigue and concern among locals.

The spider was first seen by a forklift driver at the nursery, who noticed the large arachnid moving through the yard. Specialists later identified it as Macrothele calpeiana, one of the largest spiders found in Europe. Its bite, although venomous, is not known to be fatal to humans. Experts have reassured the public that while the spider’s venom can cause painful symptoms such as swelling and irritation, it poses no serious threat.
