The announcement was made on Monday, May 26, through a gripping teaser video shared by both lead actors on their social media handles.
The film is being produced by Supriya Yarlagadda and Suniel Narang, and will be released under the banner of Annapurna Studios, which is known for backing strong content-driven films in the Indian cinema landscape.
Teaser Release Creates Buzz Online
The teaser opens with a highly intense tone, hinting at a stormy relationship gone wrong, infused with powerful visuals and an intriguing background score. The voiceovers and scenes offer a raw glimpse into the emotional chaos that defines the storyline.
Mrunal Thakur, while sharing the teaser on Instagram, wrote:
“A reunion with ex. Bittersweet? No. Catastrophic? Hell, yeah! #DACOIT IN CINEMAS WORLDWIDE ON DECEMBER 25th.”
The teaser has since gone viral, creating a stir among fans and film enthusiasts. The chemistry between Adivi and Mrunal, combined with intense action sequences, is expected to make this film one of the biggest releases of the year.
Adivi Sesh on His Role and Teaser Reception
In a candid chat with Zoom, Adivi Sesh expressed gratitude and surprise over the positive reception.
“I am getting flooded,” he said. “The reaction has been overwhelming.”
Speaking about his character, Adivi mentioned that he had the unique challenge of portraying a rustic Madanapalle Telugu accent and a rustic Hindi accent, portraying two different versions of the same character.
He further revealed, “It’s interesting to be able to pull off both accents. I'm glad people are enjoying the teaser and I’m really surprised by the love.”
Adivi also shared that someone recently likened the film to a modern-day Sholay, a reference he finds hopeful and exciting. “The project seems to be heading in that direction. Hopefully, we achieve that kind of iconic status,” he added.
Plot Summary: Revenge, Emotion, and Action
Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is directed by Shaneil Deo and features a thrilling tale of revenge, love, betrayal, and emotional intensity. The plot revolves around a vengeful prisoner, portrayed by Adivi Sesh, who is seeking retribution from his cheating ex-girlfriend, played by Mrunal Thakur.
As the story unfolds, the prisoner devises a risky plan to trap his former lover, igniting a series of action-packed sequences and emotional confrontations. The blend of raw rural setting, heartbreak, and vengeance makes this film a gripping cinematic experience.
Anurag Kashyap Joins the Cast
In a surprise casting choice, Anurag Kashyap—renowned director, actor, and writer—is seen in a crucial role. Though details about his character are still under wraps, industry insiders suggest his presence will add depth and complexity to the narrative.
Kashyap’s involvement is a huge plus for the project, as he is known for taking up challenging, grey-shaded characters and delivering memorable performances.
Annapurna Studios Backs Another Strong Script
The project has been backed by Annapurna Studios, a production house with a strong history of producing critically acclaimed and commercially successful films. With the guidance of seasoned producers like Supriya Yarlagadda and Suniel Narang, the expectations are already sky-high.
Star-Studded and Emotionally Charged
The film not only brings together stellar performances but also promises a raw emotional core, which is often missing in big-budget action dramas. The narrative hints at exploring themes of love, pain, revenge, and emotional betrayal, something the Indian audience often connects with deeply.
Bilingual Appeal with Dual Accents
The unique element in this film is the use of two regional tones in a single character portrayal. Adivi Sesh’s character speaks in both rustic Madanapalle Telugu and rustic Hindi, giving the film wider linguistic and cultural reach.
This bilingual aspect is expected to appeal not just to South Indian audiences, but also to Hindi-speaking belt, adding another feather to the cap of the makers.
Social Media Buzz and Fan Excitement
Since the teaser's release, hashtags like #DacoitTeaser, #AdiviSesh, and #MrunalThakur have been trending across platforms. Fans are already speculating about plot twists and making comparisons to classic action films.
The Instagram comment sections of the stars are filled with fan theories, excitement about the December 25 release, and love for the visuals and dialogue snippets from the teaser.
Box Office Potential
With a strong release date lined up on Christmas Day, and a star-studded cast, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha could be one of the highest-grossing films during the year-end holiday season. The film is positioned to attract audiences from both the mass and class segments, making it a potentially massive box-office success.
Conclusion
With powerful performances, a gripping plot, and top-notch production values, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha is shaping up to be a blockbuster in the making. Whether it lives up to the hype of being a modern-day Sholay remains to be seen, but for now, all eyes are on December 25, when the film hits theatres worldwide.
