Dacoit: Mrunal Thakur Wraps Shoot, Adivi Sesh Impresses With Rugged Transformation

Actor Adivi Sesh, riding high on consecutive blockbusters, is gearing up for his next major release, Dacoit. The film marks the directorial debut of Shaniel Deo and features Mrunal Thakur as the female lead. Acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap plays a key role, adding further weight to the project.

The shooting of Dacoit is currently in its final stages. Meanwhile, Mrunal Thakur has successfully wrapped up her portions after completing an intense and demanding schedule. The team gave her a warm send-off, appreciating her commitment and performance. While her shoot has concluded, she will remain actively involved in promotions and will also dub for her role in both Telugu and Hindi versions.

Recently, the makers unveiled the film’s teaser, which offered a striking glimpse into the gritty and raw world of Dacoit. The teaser received an overwhelmingly positive response from audiences. One of the biggest highlights was Adivi Sesh’s unconventional makeover — a rugged appearance combined with a mass-driven attitude. His use of authentic Madanapalle slang instantly stood out and added a strong regional flavor to the character.

The film also stars Prakash Raj, Atul Kulkarni, and Sunil in pivotal roles. Backed by high production values, the technical team includes cinematographer Danush Bhaskar, music composer Bheems Ceciroleo, and background score composer Gyaani.

Dacoit is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios. The film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on March 19, 2026, perfectly timed for Ugadi, the Telugu New Year, further boosting expectations around this high-profile release.
