Sesh and VK dig into his new action thriller Dacoit starring Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap - what it took to shoot the film simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi, and how he blended a Telugu soul with sharp, American-style editing. Sesh also takes us behind the scenes of Kshanam, reflects on working with SS Rajamouli on Baahubali, and opens up about the highly anticipated Goodachari 2. From growing up in California to carving his own space in Tollywood, Sesh gets raw and real about filmmaking on shoestring budgets, using personal favors to get films made, the revenue model of Indian cinema, and the sheer madness of editing films on set while still shooting. They also get into the power of silence in storytelling, the big debate on whether acting is a natural talent or a learned skill, and Sesh's thoughts on fame, animal rights, and why art is not a race. Whether you're an aspiring actor, filmmaker, Telugu cinema fan, or someone who loves honest conversations about the creative life — this one's for you. .
