No premieres for Dacoit: Makers of Adivi Sesh’s film take a surprising call

Adivi Sesh’s romantic action drama Dacoit is up for release this Friday. The movie, also starring Mrunal Thakur, marks the directorial debut of Shaniel Deo. The film carries good hype among audiences, and the overseas advance bookings have started on a positive note.

Despite the anticipation, the makers have chosen to skip paid premieres in India, a move that has surprised movie buffs. Instead, Dacoit will open with 8 AM shows across the country, as revealed by Adivi Sesh himself. At a time when many filmmakers are preferring to screen paid premieres, the Dacoit team opting against them indeed comes as a surprise.

The film is backed by Supriya Yarlagadda and co-produced by Suniel Narang, with Annapurna Studios presenting it. Bheems Ceciroleo has composed the songs, while Gyaani has provided the background score.
