"They messed with you, so what's wrong with messing with them?" This is how Adivi Sesh pulls Mrunal Thakur to his side, scheming to plot a heist together. The teaser of Dacoit, which plays out with limited dialogue, gives us a glimpse into the lives of the characters played by Adivi and Mrunal, Hari and Juliet, an ex-prisoner and perhaps an ex-lover. The teaser also introduces Anurag Kashyap in what seems to be an antagonist role.

A remixed version of 'Kanne Pettaro' from Nagarjuna, Ramya Krishnan and Soundarya’s hit 1994 film Hello Brother is heard in the teaser, as Thakur and Sesh amp up the tension behind the wheel. Directed by Shaneil Deo and written by Adivi Sesh and Deo, the film also-stars Anurag Kashyap, Prakash Raj, Sunil, Atul Kulkarni, Zayn Marie Khan, and Kamakshi Bhaskarla. The film is produced by Supriya Yarlagadda. Dacoit, which is set to be released in Hindi and Telugu, was earlier scheduled for a December 25 release. The date has now been shifted to March 19, 2026.

While audiences compared the film to the iconic Bonnie and Clyde (1967), Sesh, on X, had a witty response to the parallels. "I think there’s more to their dynamic than Bonnie & Clyde. It’s called ANGER," he wrote on X. The actor also revealed that the film's Hindi teaser will be launched in Mumbai on December 18. "Hindi Teaser Loading. It’s a different cut, and a different SONG. But DOUBLE IMPACT. #DacoitTeaser HINDI Loading…This evening in Novotel Juhu, Mumbai," he wrote.
