Directed by Shaneil Deo in his debut, Dacoit is shaping up as one of the most talked-about films in the pan-India space. The story and screenplay are co-written by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo, blending high-stakes action with emotional depth and vengeance-driven drama.
At its heart, Dacoit follows a led-by-fire narrative of betrayal and retribution, with Adivi Sesh playing a complex convict-turned-mastermind and Mrunal Thakur stepping into the female lead after a casting change earlier in production. The film also features intense performances from Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla in key roles.
Set to hit theatres on March 19, 2026, timed with the Ugadi festival, Dacoit has already made headlines with its bold promotional push and the news that Adivi Sesh will dance on-screen for the first time in his career. Additionally, Sesh has publicly stated that Dacoit will face a box-office clash with the big-ticket release Toxic — a showdown eagerly awaited by fans.
