Adivi Sesh’s upcoming film Dacoit has created a huge stir with its trailer crossing over 20 million views shortly after release. Set to hit theaters on April 10, 2026, the romantic crime thriller is directed by Shaneil Deo and promises a gripping cinematic experience. Following the success of Sesh’s pan-India hit Major, expectations are running high for this bilingual project filmed simultaneously in Telugu and Hindi.
The film features Mrunal Thakur alongside Adivi Sesh, with notable performances by Prakash Raj, Anurag Kashyap, Sunil, and Zayn Marie Khan. Produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and co-produced by Suniel Narang under the banner of Annapurna Studios, Dacoit has impressed audiences and industry stalwarts alike. The trailer’s sharp storytelling, intense emotional beats, and top-tier production quality have been widely appreciated, with comments pouring in from celebrities like Mahesh Babu and Anushka Shetty.
Adivi Sesh revealed that the inspiration to shoot Dacoit as a bilingual came from Akshay Kumar’s Pad Man, aiming to retain authenticity while reaching diverse audiences. The story centers on a man wrongfully imprisoned, caught between revenge and compassion, with cultural nuances carefully woven into the narrative, including localized songs adapted for different languages.
The trailer’s success has set the stage for a strong box office debut, trending at number one on YouTube across India. Fans are eagerly awaiting the film’s release, expecting a powerful blend of action, romance, and emotional drama. With Dacoit poised to bridge regional divides, moviegoers can look forward to a fresh and riveting storytelling approach this April.
