Helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Abhishek Shah, known for critically lauded projects like Hellaro and Gajro, the film is expected to carry his signature blend of cultural authenticity and engaging storytelling.

The film boasts a strong ensemble cast led by Deven Bhojani, alongside Kumud Mishra and rising talents like Aarjav Trivedi. Supporting performances from actors such as Ami Trivedi and Sanjay Goradia further strengthen the lineup, hinting at a character-driven story with wide audience appeal.
With distribution handled by Pen Movies, Dhabkaaro is slated for a theatrical release on May 1, 2026. While the announcement has just begun gaining traction online, it marks a significant step for Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment as it ventures beyond Bollywood into regional storytelling.
As audiences increasingly embrace diverse narratives across languages, Dhabkaaro could well be a turning point—not just for the production house, but for Gujarati cinema’s growing presence on the national stage.
