Taking to his X account, Mahesh Babu shared the trailer along with a note praising it and Sesh's growth. "From Major to #Dacoit... great to see you push further Sesh... The Trailer is a solid setup for what's to come. Wishing you and team the very best..," he wrote.

Solid setup indeed! The visuals look stunning. But 2026? That's a two-year wait, yaar. Hope the hype doesn't die down. Still, Adivi Sesh never disappoints. Major was a masterpiece.

Respectfully, I feel the industry relies too much on star endorsements for hype. The trailer should speak for itself. That said, it does look like a fresh take on the dacoit genre. Mrunal Thakur is a great choice.

The shift from March 2025 to April 2026 is huge! Must be for extensive VFX work. Telugu cinema is really pushing boundaries with production quality. All the best to the team!

The pairing is interesting! Not your typical hero-heroine combo, which is good. Hope the story does justice to the 'layered backstory' they're promising. Fingers crossed!
