Dacoit teaser launch: Adivi Sesh hails Dhurandhar: “There are NO self-bookings; people are genuinely watching it…THOROUGHLY deserves to be India’s BIGGEST film at present”
Mrunal Thakur, Adivi Sesh, and Anurag Kashyap, along with director Shaneil Deo, launched the Hindi trailer of their mass-appealing film, Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha, in Mumbai. This is Adivi Sesh’s second film in Hindi after Major (2022). The acclaimed film was based on the life of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who died while fighting terrorists during the ghastly 26/11 terror attacks. Incidentally, the recently released film, Dhurandhar, starring Ranveer Singh, also depicts the same incident.
Adivi Sesh was asked about Dhurandhar and his views on the film and the 26/11 track. He said, “I even tweeted about Dhurandhar. Aditya Dhar, the director of the film, is a good friend. I wondered, ‘I researched so much about 26/11 and the entire Black Tornado operation, but to know the Pakistani side of things was a new experience even for me’. Hence, I thought it was an extraordinary film. It thoroughly deserves to be India’s biggest film at the moment.”
Adivi Sesh further added, “I am very proud to see that everyone is watching this film. It’s a proper word-of-mouth hit. People are genuinely watching it. There are no (self) bookings or anything like that. People are actually going to the cinemas in hordes. I am so proud of Aditya Dhar sir and all that he has achieved. I think he has an extraordinary value system.”
He ended his answer by revealing, “I am going to watch the film tomorrow again!”
Adivi Sesh wrote a long tweet after watching Dhurandhar, in which he wrote, “Loved #Dhurandhar ! Late to the party in watching the country’s biggest film but it’s so well done. It’s an amazing achievement from you @AdityaDharFilms sir to show so many grays with subtlety. Absolutely international presentation on such a relevant topic. As someone who researched 26/11 so much for Major, it was an entirely new experience for me to see how the ISI’s handlers were empowered by the Lyari underworld. My heart broke and my blood boiled when I saw that. Superb performances from the entire cast, everyone from @RanveerOfficial garu to @ActorMadhavan Garu. My favorite was undoubtedly the magnificent #AkshayeKhanna ji as Rehman Dakait and Rakesh Bedi ji as Jameel. The extraordinary music, International cinematography, and overall craft made for a memorable experience. I’ll be watching it again soon.”
Aditya Dhar replied, “Shesh my Brother, this truly touched me…Coming from someone who’s lived and breathed this history with such sincerity, your words mean a great deal. So glad the film gave you a fresh lens — that was the hardest thing to get right. Thank you for watching with such empathy and sharpness. See you at the rewatch. Love and Luck!”
Dacoit: Ek Prem Katha releases in cinemas on March 19, 2026.
