Adivi Sesh Injury Delays ‘Dacoit’ Release; Christmas 2025 Premiere Postponed

The much-anticipated film ‘Dacoit’, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, has hit a roadblock due to a leg injury sustained by Sesh, forcing production to pause and delaying the previously scheduled Christmas 2025 release.

The Shaneil Deo-directed movie, which also features Anurag Kashyap in a pivotal role as Inspector Swamy, includes crucial high-intensity action sequences. These scenes, vital to the film’s storyline, demand peak physical performance, prompting the makers to prioritize the actor’s recovery and safety before resuming shooting. An official announcement regarding the new release date is expected soon.

‘Dacoit’ marks Shaneil Deo’s directorial debut and is described as an intense love drama with revenge at its emotional core. While Shruti Haasan was initially cast as the female lead, she reportedly exited the project citing an uncomfortable work environment and repeated filming delays.

The film’s delay underscores the team’s commitment to quality and actor well-being, ensuring that audiences receive a polished cinematic experience when it eventually hits the screens.
