The reveal, shared via her social media, adds fresh intrigue to the film’s already layered mix of romance and crime. The project, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha, continues to build anticipation as more character details emerge.

The film is centred around a complicated love story set against crime and rebellion. Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur are cast as former lovers, with their relationship unfolding amid conflict and emotional tension. The addition of Khan’s character is expected to heighten the stakes, especially within the film’s action-driven segments.

Anurag Kashyap is also set to appear as a cop. It was shared by Sesh that the project had been pitched to Kashyap during a wedding. It was further stated that Kashyap had contributed to refining the film’s Hindi dialogues, with his inputs described as those of a “master craftsman on set”.

A shift in tone for Adivi Sesh

The film marks a notable shift for Sesh, moving towards a more commercial format compared to his earlier investigative thrillers. Blending action, drama and emotional conflict, Dacoit is being positioned as an intense cinematic experience.

Directed by debutant Shaneil Deo and backed by Annapurna Studios, the bilingual film is being made in Hindi and Telugu. Initially planned for an earlier release, the makers have now scheduled it for a theatrical release on April 10 2026.
