Notably, the film was earlier supposed to star Shruti Haasan opposite Adivi Sesh; however, she backed out of the project for reasons best known to the team. Eventually, it was then that Mrunal was brought on board.
Dacoit marks the directorial debut of cinematographer Shaneil Deo, who has previously worked with Adivi in the past as well. The film is being shot simultaneously in both Telugu and Hindi, and it is scheduled to hit the silver screens on Christmas 2025.
