Adivi Sesh, Mrunal Thakur’s 'Dacoit' releases Christmas

The long wait is finally over for fans of Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur. Recently, Mrunal shared an exciting sneak peek of the action drama on her Instagram, along with the release date announcement. The film is set for a pan-India theatrical release on December 25, 2025.

The teaser reveals a powerful mix of action, emotion, and intense drama, highlighting the fiery chemistry between Sesh and Mrunal. Sesh’s character appears driven by revenge, targeting Mrunal’s role, while Anurag Kashyap also plays a significant part in the story.

Earlier this year, the makers unveiled Anurag Kashyap’s look as Inspector Swamy. Described as a fearless and witty police officer who is a devoted Ayyappa follower, his character brings sharp humor and strong principles, adding depth to the film’s gripping narrative.

Anurag shared his excitement about playing this role in both Hindi and Telugu, saying it’s a fun yet challenging experience to maintain the same impact across languages. He enjoys exploring the balance between duty and personal beliefs, with a touch of dry humor.

Directed by Shaneil Deo in his debut, Dacoit is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda, co-produced by Suniel Narang, and presented by Annapurna Studios. The film is being shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, with the story and screenplay co-written by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo. Filming is currently ongoing in Hyderabad, with plans to continue in Maharashtra soon.
