The makers confirmed the completion of Mrunal Thakur’s portion on Wednesday, announcing that the film is gearing up for a grand theatrical release on March 19, 2026, in both Hindi and Telugu.

The announcement has further fuelled anticipation around Dacoit, which marks Adivi Sesh’s return to the big screen after a gap of nearly four years.

Makers confirm wrap-up of Mrunal Thakur’s shoot

Sharing the update on social media, the production team confirmed that Mrunal Thakur completed an “exhilarating” shooting schedule. The makers highlighted that the film is now firmly on track for its scheduled March release, with post-production work progressing at a steady pace.

The update read that the high-octane drama is being mounted on a large scale, signalling the ambition behind the project. Mrunal Thakur’s role is said to be pivotal to the storyline, adding emotional weight to the action-driven narrative.

Strong buzz after teaser release

The teaser of Dacoit, released earlier, received a positive response from audiences and industry watchers alike. Viewers praised the film’s tone, visuals, and the pairing of Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur. The teaser also revealed that Anurag Kashyap plays the antagonist, adding another layer of intrigue to the film.

Music for the film is composed by Bheems Cecirolio, whose work has gained popularity in recent years. A reimagined version of the song Kannu Kottaro featured in the teaser quickly caught attention and contributed to the film’s growing buzz.

Shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu

One of the notable aspects of Dacoit is its bilingual production approach. Adivi Sesh has previously revealed that each scene was shot twice to ensure that both the Hindi and Telugu versions feel natural and authentic, rather than dubbed. This meticulous process was adopted to preserve performances and emotional nuance across languages.

The film is being produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and Suniel Narang, who are known for backing large-scale and content-driven projects.

Ensemble cast and post-production underway

Alongside Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, Dacoit features an ensemble cast including Prakash Raj, Atul Kulkarni, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla in key roles. With principal shooting now completed for the main cast, the film has entered an intensive post-production phase involving editing, sound design, and background score.

As promotions are expected to scale up in the coming weeks, Dacoit is being closely watched as a potential action blockbuster. With its pan-Indian appeal, strong cast, and simultaneous bilingual release, the film aims to make a significant impact when it hits cinemas in March 2026.
