Dacoit Release Postponed: Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur's highly anticipated action drama Dacoit will no longer hit cinemas on March 19. The makers have officially announced the new release date amid ongoing speculations. This strategic move comes to avoid the box office clash with two major releases in the March window- Dhurandar: The Revenge and Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups. Amid this crowded release slate,  Dacoit has been postponed and will now arrive in April 2026, ensuring an uninterrupted viewing experience for audiences.

Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur's Dacoit Gets A New Release Date

Amid speculation surrounding changes to its release, the makers of Dacoit issued an official statement on Wednesday and announced the decision to postpone the film. The statement read, "At a time when March is witnessing a surge of film releases and high-profile announcements, Dacoit, an ambitious, content-led theatrical project spearheaded by Adivi Sesh has taken a thoughtful recalibration of its release strategy, keeping long-term audience engagement at the centre of the decision and is pushing it’s release to 10th April."

The initial release date would have seen Dacoit clashing with Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar 2 and Yash's Toxic. Acknowledging the competition, the statement added, "the makers of Dacoit hold deep respect for both films and their creative teams, and strongly believe that every theatrical release deserves its own uninterrupted space with audiences."
