The highly anticipated action-drama Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur alongside Anurag Kashyap, is now set for a grand pan-India release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with the festive occasions of Gudi Padwa and Eid. The film, which has already generated strong buzz among fans, will release in both Hindi and Telugu simultaneously.
Helmed by Shaneil Deo, Dacoit promises a mix of romance and action wrapped in an intense, emotional story. The movie is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and co-produced by Suniel Narang under the prestigious banner of Annapurna Studios. With its dual-language shoot, the film aims to appeal to audiences across the country while maintaining authenticity in storytelling.
The film also marks a special milestone: Anurag Kashyap’s debut in Telugu cinema. Known for his gritty filmmaking and commanding presence as an actor, Kashyap’s inclusion adds dramatic weight to the project. Having recently been part of several Tamil and Malayalam films, his role in Dacoit is one of the most anticipated elements of the movie.
Originally planned for a Christmas 2025 release, the film’s schedule had to be adjusted after lead actor Adivi Sesh suffered on-set injuries, causing delays in production. Post-production is now nearing completion, and the team has chosen the festive March slot to maximize its impact across audiences.
With music by Bheems Ceciroleo, Dacoit blends pulsating action with heartfelt romance, promising a cinematic experience that transcends regional boundaries. As fans await its arrival, hashtags like #UgadiWithDacoit, #GudiPadwaWithDacoit, and #EidWithDacoit have already begun trending across social media, signaling that this festival season might indeed belong to Dacoit.
