What is the story about?
The much-awaited bilingual action drama Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, has been creating quite a buzz nationwide. Originally slated for a December release, the film faced a delay after Sesh sustained an injury during filming. It will now hit theatres on 19th March 2026 which aligns with Gudi Padwa, Ugadi, and Eid. Interestingly, this new date coincides with the release of other films, sparking talk of a major box-office clash.
The same day happens to be reserved for two other juggernauts- Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar 2,' Yash's 'Toxic.' What can we expect from the triple threat at the ticket windows that day? Expect nothing less than fireworks with comparisons in collections taking a backseat mercifully.
In an exclusive conversation with a leading media portal, Adivi Sesh opens up about Dacoit's delay, the decision behind its new release date, and and why the 'clash' does not stress him.
Talking about the delay in Dacoit’s release, Sesh says, “I have always taken a long time to make films. Earlier, no one knew me, so it didn’t matter. With Major, people felt it (the delay) was due to Covid-19. I have always taken up to 2 years to make a film. But this, a little delay happened because I injured myself. That set a situation where I couldn’t do the remaining heavy-duty action scenes for 2-3 months. I am still healing. I’m on the mend.”
When Yash first announced Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups , the title suggested something provocative and unconventional. The birthday tease makes it clear that the film fully embraces that promise. What unfolds is raw, unapologetic, and decisively adult, positioning Toxic as a fairytale designed for grown-ups in every sense.
The tease arrives without preamble and immediately establishes its tone. Instead of a celebratory glimpse, it delivers a bold cinematic statement, one that reinforces Yash’s pursuit of global-scale storytelling and visual ambition.
Dhurandhar 2
In an industry where sequels typically arrive years later—diluted, disconnected, and chasing the ghost of the original—Dhurandhar 2 wishes to go beyond and attempts to make a difference with its craft. The cliffhanger isn’t pretentious or provocative but poignant.
Ranveer Singh, the chameleon he is, allows the other actors in the ensemble to take centre stage and morph with others in the background. And for those yearning for his presence will get to see the whole of the mammoth iceberg when the second part blazes the celluloid on March 19.
