Overview
- The film moved from a planned December 2025 release after Sesh’s injury paused heavy action work for about two to three months, and he says he is still healing.
- Producers chose 19 March 2026 to align with Ugadi, Gudi Padwa and Eid, aiming to leverage a pan-India holiday window.
- Sesh downplays talk of a box-office 'clash', saying good films find their audience and citing past same-day successes.
- Dacoit was shot scene-by-scene in Hindi and Telugu with culturally tailored dialogue, a process that extended the production timeline.
- Shaneil Deo directs with Sesh and Mrunal Thakur in the lead alongside Anurag Kashyap and Prakash Raj, while Geetu Mohandas’s Toxic starring Yash is slated for the same day with a star ensemble.
