The caption along with the video reads, "A reunion with ex. Bittersweet? No. Catastrophic? Hell, yeah! #DACOIT IN CINEMAS WORLDWIDE ON DECEMBER 25th"

The action-packed glimpse of the movie is a blend of action, emotion and drama with a fiery chemistry between Sesh and Mrunal. Sesh seemed revengeful and willing to take revenge from Mrunal's character in the film and Anurag Kashyap in a standout role.

In February, the makers shared the look of Anurag Kashyap from the film. The makers described his role of Inspector Swamy as a "fearless inspector who is a staunch Ayyappa devotee, with no tolerance for corruption. Sharp-minded, witty, and sarcastic, his character adds depth to a gripping narrative filled with action, emotion, and drama."

On being a part of the film, Anurag said that this role is both fun and challenging for him and getting the same impact in both languages is a challenge that he is thoroughly enjoying.

"Playing a police officer who is an Ayyappa devotee is both fun and challenging. The conundrums of duty versus dharma, and to go about doing his job with a dry sense of humor is fantastic. I am truly looking forward to playing this character in two languages, shooting in Hindi, as well as in Telugu. To get the same impact in both the languages is the challenging part, something I am thoroughly enjoying," he said in a press note.

Directed by Shaneil Deo in his directorial debut project 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 a story and screenplay jointly crafted by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo. Currently, filming is underway in Hyderabad, followed by an extensive schedule in Maharashtra.

Finally some fresh pairing! Adivi Sesh is underrated and Mrunal always delivers. The Christmas release shows confidence - hope it's worth the wait. That caption "Catastrophic? Hell yeah!" has me hooked already 🔥

Anurag Kashyap as an Ayyappa devotee cop? What an interesting casting choice! His dry humor should balance the intense action. Hope they don't make it too preachy with the dharma angle though. The bilingual approach is smart for pan-India appeal.

December 2025 is too far yaar! Why announce so early? But must say the glimpse looks promising - that intense stare between Sesh and Mrunal gives me "Arjun Reddy" vibes. Hope the director delivers in his debut.

As a Telugu film fan, I'm excited to see Sesh getting bigger projects. But worried if the Hindi version will do justice to his performance. Remember how RRR's Hindi dub changed some dialogues? Hope they maintain authenticity in both versions.

The Maharashtra schedule suggests dacoit theme from Chambal region? Hope they don't romanticize criminals like some recent films did. But with Annapurna Studios backing, expecting good production values at least. Fingers crossed! 🤞

Mrunal's choice of roles is always interesting - from family dramas to now this action revenge story. But releasing on Christmas means competing with big holiday films. Brave move! Hope the content matches the hype they're building.
