Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur's highly anticipated bilingual action drama, Dacoit, has been rescheduled to release on March 19, 2026, coinciding with Ugadi, Gudi Padwa and Eid. The film's original release date of December 25, 2025, was postponed due to Adivi Sesh's injury while filming an intense action sequence.
Directed by Shaneil Deo in his debut, Dacoit is a romantic action thriller that tells the story of a wrongfully convicted man seeking vengeance on the woman who betrayed him. The film features an impressive ensemble cast, including Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, and Zayn Marie Khan. With music by Bheems Ceciroleo, the film is currently in post production and will be released simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi.
The film's delay was necessary to allow Adivi Sesh time to recover and complete the pending action portions. The extra time has enabled the team to ensure the film's quality and safety, prioritizing the actor's well-being and the integrity of the film's intricate action scenes.
Dacoit marks Adivi Sesh's return to the big screen, following his last outing as a lead actor in the 2022 blockbuster Major. The film's release is eagerly awaited by fans, and the new poster has generated fresh excitement.
