"Playing a police officer who is an Ayyappa devotee is both fun and challenging. - Anurag Kashyap"

Hyderabad, December 18

The makers of Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh's starrer 'Dacoit' have finally released the teaser of the film, offering a glimpse into high-octane action scenes featuring the lead duo.

The film is directed by Shaneil Deo. Apart from the lead duo, the film also stars director Anurag Kashyap in a prominent role.

The teaser opened with Adivi Sesh, who is apparently planning a heist with Mrunal Thakur to teach a lesson to those who wronged them.

In the video, Mrunal Thakur was seen driving a car rashly, while Adivi Sesh was seen performing high-octane action scenes in the film.

Adivi Sesh shared the video on his Instagram handle.

Shot simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu, the film's story and screenplay have been jointly crafted by Adivi Sesh and Shaneil Deo.

On being part of the film, Anurag said that this role is both fun and challenging for him, and that achieving the same impact in both languages is a challenge 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 humour, 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 languages is the challenging part, something I am thoroughly enjoying," he said in a press note.

The film is slated to release in theatres on March 19, 2026.

Anurag Kashyap as a police officer and Ayyappa devotee? That's some interesting casting! The "duty vs dharma" angle sounds very Indian and relatable. Hope the film lives up to the teaser's hype.

Shooting simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu is a smart move for pan-India appeal. But I hope the story is strong. Sometimes these bilingual projects focus more on the gimmick than substance. Fingers crossed!

Finally, a proper action role for Mrunal! She's a fantastic actress and deserves more than just romantic parts. The chemistry with Adivi Sesh in the teaser is electric. March 2026 feels so far away!

The concept of a "dacoit" teaching a lesson sounds like a modern Robin Hood tale set in India. Hope they handle the socio-economic context well and don't just make it mindless action. Adivi Sesh has a good track record with scripts.

Respectfully, the teaser is all style. I need to see more of the story. A heist film is great, but what's the emotional core? Why should we root for them? Hope the full trailer answers that. Still, will watch for the cast.
