Dacoit New Release Date Announced: Mrunal Thakur And Adivi Sesh Promise High-Octane Action In Intense New Poster

Dacoit New Release Date Announced: Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur’s much-awaited bilingual action-drama Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha has been postponed. The film, which was earlier scheduled for a Christmas 2025 release, will now hit cinemas on March 19, 2026. The makers recently unveiled an intense new poster announcing the revised date, creating a buzz among fans. The film’s new release aligns with the festive Gudi Padwa and Eid weekend, promising a grand pan-India release in both Hindi and Telugu languages. Reports suggest that the film’s delay was due to Adivi Sesh’s injury during production, which led to the makers pushing the release date to ensure a polished final product.

Mrunal Thakur shared the update on Instagram with the caption, “Experience explosive drama with #DACOIT, grand release worldwide on March 19th, 2026,” while Adivi Sesh added, “This time, there’s no looking back!” Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha promises to deliver a gripping mix of high-octane action, raw emotions, and powerful storytelling. The movie marks the directorial debut of Shaneil Deo and features a screenplay co-written by Adivi Sesh himself. Produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and co-produced by Suniel Narang under Annapurna Studios, the film also stars Anurag Kashyap in a significant role.
