Dacoit Teaser: Adivi Sesh-Mrunal Thakur Are In Full Heist Mode, Anurag Kashyap Stuns As The 'Biggest Beast'

The much-awaited Dacoit teaser was launched on Thursday, both in Telugu and Hindi. Starring Mrunal Thakur and Adivi Sesh in the lead roles, Dacoit is billed as one of the most anticipated action spectacles of 2026. The bilingual aims to connect emotionally with audiences through its scale, intensity, and storytelling. The surprise element in the teaser was Anurag Kashyap, who is yet again going to enthral the audience with a negative role in his Telugu debut. Sesh and Thakur, too, are equally impressive with their never-before-seen avatars.

The 1-minute and 37-second teaser of Dacoit begins with Sesh discussing with a friend how Mrunal has agreed to his plan. We get a glimpse of their shattered love story. Soon, the duo transforms into daakus who are in a heist mode. Kashyap, as the deadly villain, steals the show. Prakash Raj and Atul Kulkarni are also part of the cast. However, nothing much about their characters is revealed. From the teaser, we get a hint that Dacoit is a complicated story of love, betrayal and deceit.

A remixed version of Kanne Pettaro from Nagarjuna, Ramya Krishnan and Soundarya’s 1994 film Hello Brother is played in the background, complementing the narrative and building anticipation for the film. 

In the Hindi version of the teaser, Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast song from Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon's Mohra (1994) is played.
