Adivi Sesh–Mrunal Thakur’s ‘Dacoit’ postponed, now to release on April 10
‘Dacoit’ release pushed to April 10 to avoid clash with ‘Dhurandhar’ and ‘Toxic’
The teaser of Dacoit was released in December with great public interest which featured its main cast Adivi Sesh Mrunal Thakur and Anurag Kashyap.
The Pan-India action entertainer was scheduled to release on March 19, 2026.
A source told, “With March witnessing multiple releases and announcements, the makers of Dacoit have thoughtfully realigned the film’s release plans shifting the date to April 10. It was earlier set to arrive alongside Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups making it a time when multiple highly anticipated films were slated to release together. The team holds great respect for both Dhurandhar as well as Toxic and their creative teams and firmly believes that every theatrical release deserves its own moment with audiences.”
According to trade sources the Dacoit movie release date which had been scheduled for November 2023 needs to be postponed because the filmmakers believe in their film content better than they believe in their ability to attract audiences.
“Staying true to that thought the decision to move to April 10 comes from a place of fairness and clarity ensuring that Dacoit gets its due spotlight while audiences can enjoy all films on their own terms. It also reflects strategic planning and thoughtful timing focused on the film’s theatrical experience.”
The movie Dacoit is created by director Abhinay Deo and producer Supriya Yarlagadda through their partnership with S S Creations and Suniel Narang Production.
The film Dhurandhar: The Revenge serves as the sequel to the highly successful film Dhurandhar which was released in 2025 and stars Ranveer Singh and other actors.
The film Toxic: A Fairytale For Grown-Ups which Geetu Mohandas directs features Yash from KGF and Nayanthara and Kiara Advani and Huma Qureshi and Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasanth and Akshay Oberoi and other actors.
